Lyric Mama, You Been On My Mind

Perhaps it s the color of the sun cut flat
An cov rin the crossroads i m standing at,
Or maybe it s the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.

I don t mean trouble, please don t put me down or get upset,
I am not pleadin or sayin , "i can t forget."
I do not walk the floor bowed down an bent, but yet,
Mama, you been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
It don t even matter to me where you re wakin up tomorrow,
But mama, you re just on my mind.

I am not askin you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, i got no place for you t go.
I m just breathin to myself, pretendin not that i don t know,
Mama, you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin , baby, look inside your mirror.
You know i won t be next to you, you know i won t be near.
I d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind.
