INTRO:
(what does she get for all the love she gave you?) x 2
VERSE 1:
mama never told me to move…
so what are we fighting for?
running out of reasons to stay
so shove me right out the door
BRIDGE 1:
i hate her for a couple of days…
i blamed her for everything
i loved her in a musical way…
though she don’t wanna hear me sing
VERSE 2:
mama in my moment of doubt
sat down on my dirty floor
she whispered whether with or without
her love’s just another chore…
(background vox: “ooo sha sha…witch doctor…”)
BRIDGE 2:
mama mama mama whether with or without…
i’d still rather be…
and if love her in my moment of doubt,,,
then i love her most certainly…
(SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS x 2)
BRIDGE 3:
mama mama mama…
and her letters of love belonging to me…
i love her from below and above…
though i love her quite carefully…
VERSE 3:
i write her every morning
then i turn off the light
my temperature’s fine
took a look around ’til i had seen all the sights
then kept on…
OUTRO:
i kept right…
on down the line…
(“my temperature’s fine…”)
