And maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
And covering
The crossroads I'm standing at
Maybe it's the weather
Or something like that
But Mama you're just on my mind
And I don't mean trouble
Please don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleading
Or saying I can forget you
I do not walk the floors bowed down and bent, but yet
Mama you're just on my mind
Mama you're just on my mind
Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But Mama you're just on my mind
And I don't mean trouble
Please don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleading
Or saying I can forget you
I do not walk the floors bowed down and bent, and yet
Mama you're just on my mind
Though my thoughts, they might be hazy
And my mind might be narrow
Where you been, don't bother me
Don't bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter where you're waking up tomorrow
Mama you're just on my mind
When you wake up in the morning
Baby, look into 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 their mind
And maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather
Or something like that
But Mama you're just on my mind
Mama you're just on my mind
