M aybe it's the color of the sun cut flat
And c overing the c rossroads I'm standing at
Or m aybe it's the w eather or s omething like t hat
But m ama you're just o n my m ind.
I don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get upset
I am not p leadin' or s ayin' "I can't forget you."
I d o not walk the f loor bowed d own an' bent but y et
M ama you're just o n my m ind.
E ven though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you b een don't bother me or b ring me down in sorrow.
I t don't even m atter where you're w akin' up t omorrow
M ama you're just o n my m ind.
W hen you wake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror.
You k now I won't be next to you you k now I won't be near.
I'd just be c urious to k now if you can s ee yourself as c lear
A s someone who has h ad you on his m ind.
