Lyrics

"No affection" were the words that stuck on my mind When she walked out on me for the very last time Oh, mama, sweet mama, can you tell me what to say? I don't know what I've done to be treated this way In a cold, dirty room, that's where I found myself With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf Oh, mama, sweet mama, can you tell me what to say? I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed Then an angel appeared, she was just seventeen In a dirty, old gown with a conscience so clean Oh, mama, sweet mama, can you tell me what to say? She's brought back the life that I once threw away She's brought back the life that I once threw away
