Tell Mama (Live – Montreux Jazz Festival 1977)

You thought that you'd found a good girl

One to love you and give you the world

Now you find that you've been misused

Talk to me, I'll do what you choose

I want you to tell mama all about it

Tell mama what you need

Tell mama what you want

And I'll make everything alright

She would embarrass you anywhere

Make her friends think that she didn't care

Give me the chance, I've been begging you

'Cause I just wanna take care of you

And I want you to tell mama all about it

Tell mama what you need

Tell mama what you want

And I'll make everything alright

She would embarrass you anywhere

Make her friends think that she didn't care

Give me the chance, I've been begging you

'Cause I just wanna take care of you

And I want you to tell mama all about it

Tell mama what you need

Tell mama what you want

Tell me, I'm your mama

Tell me what you want, I'll get it

Tell your mama what you want

Tell your mama what you need

She'll give it to you in the morning

Throw it on you in the evening

Sock it to you in the midnight hour

Whoa mama, whoa mama

Whoa mama, whoa mama

Let me hear you say "Whoa mama"

Let's go, whoa mama

Whoa mama, whoa mama

Whoa mama

Tell your mama what you want

Tell your mama what you gotta have

Tell your mama what you want

Tell your mama what you need

Whoa, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama

Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mama

Whoa, mama, mama, mama, whoa mama
