Lying here in darkness He won't even hold my hand Even though we share the same roof Even while I waited patiently If you go on this way My heart no longer dreams of love Like a girl of yesterday Mama, If you could hold me again Rock me gently in your arms Tell me a story, the way you used to do Need someone to love me now Mama, I need you Just a lonely stranger Who don't give a darn about me Got nobody to turn to God, this ain't the way it should be Sippin' on a cup of coffee As the sun lights up the sky Left me here without a kiss goodbye As I ketch my fair reflection In the mirror on the wall A lonely lady I see here Don't look like me at all Mama, If you could hold me again Rock me gently in your arms Tell me a story, the way you used to do Need someone to love me now Mama, I need you Need someone to love me now Mama, I need you
