Etta James - Tell Mama

 

You thought you found yourself a good girl
One that love you and give you the world
Now you find that you been misused
Come to me honey, I'll do what you choose

She'd embarrass you anywhere
She'd make her friends think that she didn't care
Give me the chance and I'd been begging
And I just want to take care of you and 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
Let me hear you say 'Yes'

The girl you had didn't have no sense
She wasn't worth all the time you spent
Had another man kick you out the door
Now that same dude is wearing your clothes

Tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama what you want
And I'll make everything alright
