Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't see you, mama

But I can hardly wait

Ooh, to touch and to feel you, mama

Oh, I just can't keep away

[Verse 2]

In the heat and the steam of the city

Oh-oh, it's got me running and I just can't brake

So say you'll help me, mama

'Cause it's getting so hard

[Verse 3]

Now I can't keep you, mama

But I know you're always there

You listen, you teach me, mama

And I know inside you care

[Verse 4]

So get down, down here beside me

Oh, whoa-whoa, you ain't going nowhere

No, I won't hurt you, mama

But it's getting so hard

Oh

[Verse 5]

Can't you see me here, mama?

Mama, mama, mama, please

Can't you feel my heart?

Oh, can't you feel my heart?

Can't you feel my heart?

[Verse 6]

Now listen to me, mama, mama, mama

You're taking away my last chance

Don't take it away

Can't you feel my heart?

[Verse 7]

It's hot, too hot for me, mama

But I can hardly wait

My eyes, they're burning, mama

And I can feel my body shake

[Verse 8]

Don't stop, don't stop me, mama

Oh-whoa, make the pain, make it go away

No, I won't hurt you, mama

But it's getting so hard

Oh

[Verse 9]

Now I can't see you, mama

But I know you're always there

You taunt, you tease me, mama

But I never, never, never can keep away

[Verse 10]

It's the heat and the steam of the city

Oh-whoa, got me running and I just can't brake

So stay don't leave me, mama

'Cause it's getting so hard

[Verse 11]

Don't go

No, no, don't go

Mama, mama, don't go

No, don't go

Don't go

Don't go

No, no, don't go

Don't let me here

Don't go
