Mama Can't Buy You Love

(album: The Complete Thom Bell Sessions - 1989)

Baby, so they give you anything
Darling, all the joy money can bring
Baby, do they bring you happiness
Darling, you're no different from the rest

Can't you see that it's love you really need?
Take my hand and I'll show you what a love could be
Before it's too late

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't want you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't need you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Baby, fancy friends showing you a smile
Darling, rich relations for a while
Baby, I can only give you love
Darling, this old heart should be enough

All I need is a chance to make you mine
Let me in, oh, I'll change the way you feel inside
Before it's too late

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't want you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't need you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't want you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't need you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't want you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't need you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't want you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love

Mama don't want you
Daddy don't need you
Give it up, baby, baby
Mama can't buy you love
