If I Lose My Mind

(앨범: What Ain't To Be, Just Might Happen - 1972)

Mama, it's so good to be back home again
I'm so proud to see that you are looking well
Yes, I know that I look a little weary
Oh, but mama, I have been through living hell

Mama, you know how much I've always loved her
Well, she done things to me I couldn't understand
Why she parked one night in our driveway with a stranger
Where I could see her making love to him

Oh, if I lose my mind mama I wanna be here with you
Have them locked me up but see I have good care
I just couldn't stand the torture any longer
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there

Oh mama, she told me that her love had gone
How I wish that I had left way back then
But my love for her would not let me believe it
Just like it won't let me forget seeing them

Oh, if I lose my mind mama I wanna be here with you
Have them locked me up but see I have good care
I just couldn't stand the torture any longer
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there
