You thought you had found a good girl, 
One to love you and give you the world 
Now you find that you been misused, 
Talk to me, 
I'll do what you choose. 
Tell Mama, all about it, tell 
Mama, what you need 
Tell Mama, what you want and how that girl does things all right 
The girl you had didn't have no sense, 
She wasn't worth all the time you spent 
She had another man throw you outdoors, 
Now the same man is wearing your clothes. 
She would embarrass you anywhere, 
She let everybody know she didn't care 
Give me a chance 
I been begging you 
I just want to take care of you. 
Tell your 
Mama, what you want, tell your 
Mama, what you need 
Tell your 
Mama, what you got to have
