No affection were the words
Stuck on my mind
When she walked out on me
For the very last time
Oh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say?
I don′t know what I've done
To be treated this way
In a cold dirty room
That′s where I found myself
With a bottle of wine
And some pills off the shelf
Oh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I've done
And I′m feeling so ashamed
Then an angel appeared
She was just 17
In a dirty old gown
With a conscious so clean
Oh mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say?
She′s brought back the life
That I once threw away
She's brought back the life
That I once threw away
