Oh, mama, don't walk away
I'm a goddamn sore loser
I ain't too proud to stay
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind

Oh, mama, don't leave me alone
With my soul sat down so tight
It's like a cold stone tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
I'm just dying to hear you
Calling my name one more time

Oh, so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing
Yes, and I try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding

Oh, mama, don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving from the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that we had
Was just selfish and sad
Yes, but to see you now with him
Is just making me mad

Oh, so kiss him again
Just to prove to me that you can
I will stand here
And burn in my skin
Yes, I will stand here
And burn in my skin
