The Civil Wars Tell Mama song lyrics

You thought you had found a good girl

One to love you and give you the world

Now you find that you’ve been misused

Talk to me, I’ll do what you choose

I want you to…

Tell Mama all about it

Tell Mama what you need

Tell Mama what you want

And I’ll make everything alright

That girl you had didn’t have no sense

She wasn’t worth all the time that you spent

She had another man throw you outdoors

Now the same man is wearing your clothes

I want you to…

Tell Mama all about it

Tell Mama what you need

Tell Mama what you want

And I’ll make everything alright

Tell me, tell me now

She would embarrass you anywhere

She’d let everybody know she didn’t care

Give me a chance, I’ve been beggin’ you

And I just want to take care of you

I want you to…

Tell Mama all about it

Tell Mama what you need

Tell Mama what you want

Tell Mama what you want right now

Tell me, tell your mom

I’m your Mama

Tell me what you want
