Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'ring the crossroads I'm standin' at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Mama, you're just on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleading or sayin', "I can't forget."
I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet
Mama, you're just on my mind
I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I'm not calling for you to go
I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know
Mama, you're just on my mind
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 there
But I'd be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
Someone who has had you on his mind
Maybe it's the weather or something like that
Mama you're just on my mind
