Mama's worried all the time She tells everyone she's fine But she's hurting bad and worried so She don't want no one to know There's a rumbling below I don't see, an unnatural glow People with nowhere to go And nothing in their eyes We ain't seen daddy for a while He walked away, his worried smile Was the memory he gave to me We don't know where he's gone And mama's worried all the time She tells everyone she's fine But she's hurting bad and worried so She don't want no one to know ♪ People in their stylish clothes They look at us and turn up their nose A hunger deep inside me grows And never goes away She starts singing in the morning She works and sings all day Singing sad, singing low For a while the worry goes away And mama's worried all the time She tells everyone she's fine But she's hurting bad and worried so She don't want no one to know
