Mama You Been On My Mind lyrics

by Bob Dylan

Perhaps it`s the color of the sun cut flat
An` cov`rin` the crossroads I`m standing at,
Or maybe it`s the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.

I don`t mean trouble, please don`t put me down or get upset,
I am not pleadin` or sayin`, `I can`t forget.`
I do not walk the floor bowed down an` bent, but yet,
Mama, you been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an` my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don`t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
It don`t even matter to me where you`re wakin` up tomorrow,
But mama, you`re just on my mind.

I am not askin` you to say words like `yes` or `no,`
Please understand me, I got no place for you t` go.
I`m just breathin` to myself, pretendin` not that I don`t know,
Mama, you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin`, baby, look inside 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 his mind.
