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.
