| I straddled my bicycle when I was ten years old
|
| I rode it up on Maxwell Hill where all the big boys go
|
| Way down at the bottom there’s a creek bed six feet wide
|
| If you peddle fast enough you can make the other side
|
| Mama come quick I think I fell
|
| And hurt myself again
|
| Mama come quick you know too well
|
| How much I still depend on you
|
| Picking' me up and dusting' me off
|
| And sending' me on my way
|
| 'Cause nothing heals as much as your loving touch
|
| I fell in love for the first time when I was almost grown
|
| I heard that love could hurt real bad, though I had not been shown
|
| Everybody told me she would only break my heart
|
| But I wouldn’t listen to them 'cause I was way too smart
|
| Mama come quick I think I fell
|
| And hurt myself again
|
| Mama come quick you know too well
|
| How much I still depend on you
|
| Picking' me up and dusting' me off
|
| And sending' me on my way
|
| 'Cause nothing heals as much as your loving touch
|
| Yeah daddies teach us how to ride
|
| How to catch and throw
|
| But when things don’t go the way they should
|
| A boy knows where to go
|
| Mama come quick I think I fell
|
| And hurt myself again
|
| Mama come quick you know too well
|
| How much I still depend on you
|
| Picking' me up and dusting' me off
|
| And sending' me on my way
|
| 'Cause nothing heals as much as your loving touch
|
| Oh mama come quick
|
| I need your loving touch
|
| Yeah mama come quick
|
| I need your loving touch |
