| 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 |
