mama i fell in love with the man and now that i know where i stand i can tell it's a gruesome height i fell but i know i need to run, i need to run like hell
oh mama, i'm troublemama, i'm in trouble
mama tell me why can't i sing when my heart is screaming, knowing this ain't no fling his words are poetic but his reasons pathetic but my heart don't care, it's gonna pay for this fare
mama let me wallow in my pain let my heart rest awhile, though its blood will stain i'd take it, drag a trail all the way down to his door but it wouldn't change a thing, i know; i've been here before ...
