| Mama you know, I’m not the kind to hold no grudge
|
| I don’t know who’s to blame
|
| It ain’t my place to judge
|
| But Mama you hurt me
|
| Like I never hurt before
|
| And I just can’t stand it no more
|
| I just decided, that this ain’t no way to live
|
| ‘Cause loving you, takes more
|
| Then I’m prepared to give
|
| You made me cry so much
|
| My eyes are red and sore
|
| And I just can’t stand it no more
|
| Oh no, I just can’t stand it no more
|
| Mama let your light keep on shining
|
| I won’t be here, and I won’t see
|
| But I will always remember
|
| When your light used to shine for me
|
| Shine on me
|
| I begged and I pleaded
|
| But you would not hear my voice
|
| I’m only leaving ‘cause I have no other choice
|
| Gonna leave you standing
|
| On that New York city shore
|
| ‘Cause I just can’t stand it no more
|
| Mama you know, I’m not the kind to hold no grudge
|
| I don’t know who’s to blame
|
| It ain’t my place to judge
|
| But Mama you hurt me
|
| Like I never hurt before
|
| And I just can’t stand it no more
|
| Oh no, I just can’t stand it no more
|
| Whoo hoo hoo hoo |
