You thought you had 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
She would embarrass you anywhere
Make her friends think that she didn't care
Give me the chance, I've been beggin' you
I just wanna take care of you
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
She would embarrass you anywhere
Make her friends think that she didn't care
Give me the chance, I've been beggin' you
I just wanna take care of you
And I want you to tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama what you want
And baby, tell your mama
Tell your mama, tell her what you want
She'll give it to you
Tell your mama
Tell your mama-mama-mama-mama-mama-mama-mama-mama
Hey mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama, oh mama
Oh mama-mama, oh mama
Alright, whoa, whoa, oh
Etta James, thank you very much
Once again, for Etta James
Brian Ray, Gladys Knight
John Faughnan, Howard Johnson
Sonny Bondex, Raoul Salinger
Frank Gable, and Douglas Adams
Once again, for Etta James, thank you
