I woke in the nighttime, But you awoke first You got up and got out from a love that had been cursed And I got a boy, he don't see much at all, So we both lay there silent staring at holes in the wall
Mama don't come no more Mama won't come no more
He's holding you tight, Who'd ever wanna let you go? I'd burn down ever promenade just to find and let you know But I ain't done nothin' I ain't even found a trace, Of the perfect things we found together And the dreams I should have chased
Mama don't come no more Mama won't come no more
Can't sleep, can't think, can't cry, can't scream, can't lose my mind The only thing I think about is the one thing I can't find, My boy he sleeps, he sits, he watches me this way I know that he can't hear me but he knows the one thing that I say,
Boy, Mama don't come no more Mama won't come no more
