Mama You've Been on My Mind (Demo)

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat

And cov'ring the crossroads I'm standing 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 saying I can't forget

I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet

Mama, you're just on my mind

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no"

Please understand me

I am not calling for you to go

I'm just breathing to myself, pretending

Not that I don't know

Mama, you're just on my mind

When you wake up in the morning

Baby, look inside your mirror

You know I won't be next to you

You know I won't be there

I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear

As someone who has had you on his mind

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Someone who has had you on his mind

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Or maybe it's always there was something like that

Mama, you're just on my mind
