Mama You Been on My Mind
(Bob Dylan)
Perhaps itęÆ the color of the sun cut flat
and coverin' the crossroads Ię¦ standing at
or maybe itęÆ the weather or something like that
but mama you been on my mind
I do not mean you trouble, donę° put me down, donę° get upset
I am not pleadin?or sayin?I canę° forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
mama you been on my mind
Even tho?my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been donę° bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I donę° even mind where you be wakin?up tomorrow
but mama you been on my mind
Ię¦ not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, Ię³e no place Ię¦ calling you to go
Ię¦ just whisperin?to myself so I can pretend that I donę° know
Mama you been on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin?baby, look inside your mirror
you know I wonę° be next to you, you know I wonę° be near
Ię just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
as someone who has had you on his mind
As someone who has had you on his mind
Mama you been on my mind
Perhaps itęÆ the color of the sun cut flat
and coverin' the crossroads Ię¦ standing at
or maybe itęÆ the weather or something like that
but mama you been on my mind
I do not mean you trouble, donę° put me down, donę° get upset
I am not pleadin?or sayin?I canę° forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
mama you been on my mind
Even tho?my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been donę° bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I donę° even mind where you be wakin?up tomorrow
but mama you been on my mind
Ię¦ not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, Ię³e no place Ię¦ calling you to go
Ię¦ just whisperin?to myself so I can pretend that I donę° know

Ię just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
as someone who has had you on his mind
As someone who has had you on his mind
Mama you been on my mind
