Mama, you've been on my mind Songtext

von Mando Diao

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
And covrin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
But mama, you've been on my mind.

Oh I don't mean trouble, please don't bring me down or get upset,
I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you."
I do not walk the floor bowed down on knees, but yet,
Mama, you've been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy and 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 if you're wakin' up tomorrow,
But mama, you've been on my mind.

I don't need you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I'm not callin for you to go.
I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know,
But Mama, you've been on my mind.

When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror.
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
I'm just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind.
