Oh Mamma

Standing in the backstage waiting for the signal to go

People waiting screaming louder waiting for their hero to start his show

 But they can’t see the hurt I feel right now

Deep inside my soul

For the only girl in this world

That I loved has been taken far away from me

 I went away I left that day

I never turned and said goodbye

Oh mamma Oh mamma Oh mamma

Please forgive your boy

I stand upon the stage and I hear them screaming for my songs

I sing about happiness but my face can’t hide the hurt I’m feeling

My mamma was good to me yea; she cradled me and kept me warm

But she didn’t understand that I had to go yea had to go my own way

I Love ya I need ya I’m sorry that your gone

I want ya a need ya oh mamma cant go on without you.
