Perhaps it′s the color of the sun cut flat
Uncovering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it′s the weather or something like that
But mama, you've been on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don′t put me down or get upset
I′m not pleading or saying, I can't forget
I do not walk the floor, bowed down and bent
But yet, mama, you′ve been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you've been don′t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter to me where you′re waking up tomorrow
But mama, you're just on my mind
I am not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I got no place for you to go
I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not that I don′t know
Mama, you′ve been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won′t be near
I'd just like to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
