Etta James - Tell Mama Lyrics

You thought you'd found a good girl
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you've been misused
Talk to me, I'll do what you choose, I want you to

Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need
Tell Mama, what you want and I'll make everything alright

That girl you had didn't have no sense
she wasn't worth all the time that you spent
she had another man throw you outdoors
Now that same man is wearing your clothes

i want you to
Tell Mama, what you want, tell Mama, what you need
Tell your Mama, what you want, and I'll make everything alright

She would embarrass you anywhere
She'd let everybody know she didn't care
Give me the chance and I've been begging you
And I just want to take care of you and I want you to
