| Hey mama, take a look at me now | |
| Things are going fine here in the big town | |
| Hey mama, if you could only see | |
| All of my friends and how they love me. [Chorus:] | |
| And I know you say | |
| I need Jesus | |
| Mama can't you see | |
| I'm doing fine | |
| And I know you say | |
| I need Jesus | |
| But mama I ain't got the time. | |
| No, no. Hey mama, it's been two long years | |
| Since I have seen you - how | |
| I need you here | |
| Hey mama, things they aren't the same | |
| Since I last wrote you - | |
| Yea things have changed [Repeat Chorus] | |
| Well everything's going wrong | |
| No, I can't take it no more [repeat] | |
| I need Jesus, forgive me | |
| Come into my life. | |
| Come into my heart. | |
| Precious Jesus [Repeat Chorus] |
