Well, I was taking with a woman that I really respect
Well, she's got a few years on me
She said, child, these eyes of mine were blind
Now these eyes can see
That's life, that's my life
I said, ee-hee, Mama!
Yeah, yeah, let's talk about life
She said, once upon a time I was so blue
I couldn't even sing
But now my life's a burnin'
Churnin' hunk of pa**ionate thing
That's life, since Jesus saved my life
And I said, ee-hee, Mama!
Yeah, yeah, tell me more about life
Tell me about life
Mama, Mama
Let's talk about life
She said, I was silly enough to believe
That I could make it by myself
But now I know I can't do a thing
Without the Master's help
That's life
That's the secret of life, kid
And I said, Thank you, Mama
For tellin' me about life
And she said, no problem, dear
Now go out and live your life!
Ee-hee Mama
Yeah, yeah, let's talk about life
Amen
Play it, Mama!
