The Supremes - I'm Livin' In Shame songtekst
Je score:
Mama's cooking bread She wore a dirty, raggedy scarf around her head Always had her stockings low, rolled to her feet She just didn't know She wore a sloppy dress Oh, no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork, or a dinner plate I was always so afraid that my uptown friends would see her Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her Ah, in a college town Away from home a new identity I found Said I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet I must have been insane I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train Married a guy, was living high I didn't want him to know her She had a grandson two years old That I never even showed her I'm living in shame Mama I miss you I know you're not to blame Mama I miss you Came a telegram Mama passed away while making homemade jam Before she died, she cried to see me by her side She always did her best Oh, cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress Working hard, down on her knees Always trying to please Mama, mama, mama can you hear me? Mama, mama, mama can you hear me? I'm living in shame, mama I miss you I know you're not to blame, mama I miss you. Won't you forgive me mom? For all the wrong I've done? I love you so much mom. I know you've done the very best you could But I never understood Working hard down on her knees... Mama you were always, always tryin' to please!
