Mama, I Know I’ve been on your mind
Words and music by Joe Dickinson
Oh mama
I know I’ve been on your mind
But what am I supposed to do?
You left your heart in San Francisco
On an empty street somewhere downtown
But now your back and you take prisoner
Of every man wearing a frown
You never thought about the future
You can’t be bothered by the past
But now your queen is in detention
And your circus-man is last
Yeah, oh yeah
Mama
I know I’ve been on your mind
But what am I supposed to do?
You always were such an attraction
Make any man fall to his knees
But now the curtain has been lifted
And the ugly truth has been set free
I’m taking back all my possessions
I’m leaving nothing up to chance
And now I swear I’m gonna leave you
And take the first flight off to France
Yeah, oh yeah
Oh mama
I know I’ve been on your mind
But what am I supposed to do?
