Tell Mama Lyrics

Tell Mama 

 Etta James 

  

 Your dogs ain't found a good girl, 

 One that love you and give you warning 

 Now you find that you been misused, 

 Well how many girls can think all right 

  

 She'd embarrass you anywhere, 

 She'd make her friends think that she didn't care 

 Give me the chance and I'd been begging 

 And I just want to 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 how that girl does things all right 

 Let me hear you say "Yash" 

  

 The girl you had didn't have no sense, 

 she wasn't worth all the time you spent 

 Had another man kick you out the door, 

 now that same dude is wearing your clothes 

  

 Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need 

 Tell your Mama, what you got to have
