Mama

(album: Cookin' With The Miracles - 1961)

Ooh

Mama (Mama), I finally found a girl for me (Mama)
She's as fine as-a she can be (Mama)
And I've only known her for a week, it's true (Mama)
But I'm glad that I waited like you told me to

Uh-huh (Mama, I've found someone that's true)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mama, mama, mama (Mama)
She takes my money all the time (Mama)
She says she's saving every dime (Mama)
And she ain't jiving me, I know (Mama)
She really, really loves me 'cause she told me so

Uh-huh (Mama, I've found someone that's true)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, I love her, she loves me
We ain't got much money, it's true
We're gonna need a whole lotta help
I know I can depend on you, you, you, you

Mama (Mama, I've found someone that's true)
Yes, I did, now
I found someone that's true

(Mama)
(Mama)
(Mama)
Oh

I love her and she loves me
We ain't got much money, it's true
We're gonna need a whole lotta help
I know I can depend on you

Mama (Mama), she wants to live somewhere else (Mama)
Somewhere we can be by ourself (Mama)
Ah, but she's the girl that you wanted me to find (Mama)
So we're living with you, I know you don't mind

Come on, now (Mama), mama, let me run it down
Tell you all about (Mama) this girl I found
She's alright (Mama), she ain't nothing wrong
I know that you two (Mama) are gonna get along
So come on and be happy (Mama), don't you know you oughta?
You ain't losing a son (Mama), you're just gaining a daughter
Hey, hey (Mama), hey, hey
You better come on (Mama), come on
