Mama pull over, I'll fix up your coffee
Just how you like it, two half and half sweet and low
Mama pull over
Mama come home, look I've folded your laundry
Scarves, pants and blouses, underwear, pantyhose
Mama come home
I see the mascara smeared on your pillow
Crying yourself to sleep alone, I know
Mama I'll show you your boy is a man now
It's for you I'm looking both ways when I cross the road
Mama I'll show
You don't like me overly enthusiastic
I'm painting my mask in these beiges and undertones
Mama don't like it
I see the mascara smeared on your pillow
Crying yourself to sleep alone, I know
The others I'm loving got nothing on you Ma
This emptied out heart belongs to you and you alone
Forget the others
Daddy is gone and it's just you and me now
No lover, no father, don't answer the ringing phone
Cause he's never calling
In sickness in health you pledged to each other
Now better or worse this boy's your man, alone
I see the mascara smeared on your pillow
Crying yourself to sleep alone, I know, I know
Mama pull over, I'll fix up your coffee just how you like
Two half and half sweet and low
