Lyrics Etta James – Tell Mama
Text:
You thought you had found a good girl,
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you been misused,
Talk to me, I’ll do what you choose.
I want you to
Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need
Tell Mama, what you want and I’ll make everything all right
That girl you had didn’t have no sense,
She wasn’t worth all the time you spent
She had another man throw you outdoors,
Now the same man is wearing your clothes.
I want you to
Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need
Tell Mama, what you want and I’ll make everything all right
She would embarrass you anywhere,
She let everybody know she didn’t care
Give me a chance I been begging you
I just wanna take care of you.
I want you to
Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need
Tell Mama, what you want, tell Mama
What you want right now, tell me
Tell your Mam…
fade
Tell your Mama, what you got to have
