The Beatles Mama, You Been on My Mind song lyrics

Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat

An' coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that

But mama, you are just on my mind.

I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset

I am not pleadin' or sayin', I can't forget

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

Mama, you are just on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow

Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow

It don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow

But 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 near

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

As someone who has had you on his mind

Maybe it's the color of the sun cut flat

An' coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that

But mama, you are just on my mind

Mama, you are just on my mind
