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.
