Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind
I mean no trouble, please, don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you"
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent, but yet
Well, mama, you been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy
And my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me
Or bring me down in sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with 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 have no place I'm callin' you to go
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Mama, you just on my mind
ย
Well, mama, you just on my mind
ย
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
