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 trouble
mama, 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 ...
