Ricky Nelson - Mama You've Been On My Mind lyrics

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut fly Uncovering the crossroads I'm standing at Or maybe it's the weather or something like that But mama you've been on my mind I don't mean no trouble, please don't put me down or get upset I'm not pleading insane, I can't forget I do not walk the floor, bow down and pampered yet But mama you've been on my mind Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts, they might be narrow Where you've been don't bother me, or bring me down in sorrow Don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow But mama you're just on my mind I am not askin' you to say the words like yes or no Please understand that I've got no place for you to go I'm just breathin' to myself pretendin' not that I don't know Mama you've been on my mind When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror I know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near I'd just like to know if you can see yourself as clear As someone who has had you on his mind
