[Verse 1]
Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing
Maybe it's the weather or something like that
But Mama, you been on my mind

[Verse 2]
I don't mean any trouble, please
Don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleading or saying I can't forget
I do not walk the floor, bowed down and bent
But yet, Mama, you been on my mind

[Verse 3]
Even though my mind gets hazy
And my thoughts, they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me
Or bring me down in sorrow
It do not even matter who you're waking with tomorrow
Mama, you're just on my mind

[Verse 4]
I am not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please undеrstand me, I have no place I'm calling you to go
I am just brеathing to myself, pretending not that I don't know
But Mama, you're just on my mind
[Verse 5]
When you wake up in the morning, baby
Look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I am just curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
