Oh, mama, what you're doin' to me
I wander long and far
But I made it
Oh, lord, what you're doin' to me
Mama hasn't doin' to you
I know you're reachin' for him
He's all around you
Oh, lord, how you do it to her
Oh, son, what you're doin' to me
I knew it when I saw her
I waited for ya
Oh, son, how you do it to me
Lord, how you do it to me
The seven bells are ringin'
And it's clearin'
Oh, lord, how you do it to me
Oh, lord, how you do it to me
It's just a siren's warnin'
Like the sky is fallin'
Oh, lord, how you do it to me
Oh, mama, don't you reach too far
I've been a long time gone
But I've made it
Oh, mama, don't you reach too far
