Mama You Been On My Mind lyrics

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
