| Perhaps it's the color of the sun |
| Cut flat and coverin' |
| The crossroads I'm standin' at |
| Or maybe it's the weather |
| Or somethin' 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 pleading |
| Or saying I can't forget you |
| I do not pace the floor bowed down |
| And bent but yet |
| Mama you been on my mind |
| Even though my eyes are hazy |
| And my thoughts they might be narrow |
| Where you been don't bother me |
| Nor bring me down with sorrow |
| I don't even mind who'll you be |
| Waking with tomorrow |
| Mama, you're just on my mind |
| I'm not askin' you to say |
| Words like yes or no. |
| Please, understand me |
| I have no place I'm callin' you to go |
| I'm just whispering to myself |
| So I can't pretend 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 |
