Lyrics

Yeah!
 Yeah!
 Whoaa... yeah!
 You thought you had found yourself a good girl
 One who would love you and give you the world
 Then you find, babe, that you've been misused
 Come to me, honey, I'll do what you choose
 I want you to
 Well, tell mama
 Tell all about it
 Well, tell mama
 What you need
 Tell your mama, babe
 What you want
 Tell your mama, babe
 What you need
 What you want
 What you need
 What you want
 Whoa! an' I'll make everything alright
 That girl you didn't have no sense, babe
 Wasn't worth all the time that you spent
 That same man throwed you outdoors
 I just heard that he quartered your clothes, hey!
 Well, tell mama
 All about it
 Tell mama
 What you need
 Tell your mama, babe
 What you want
 Tell your mama, babe
 What you need
 What you want
 What you need
 What you want
 Whoaaa! an' I'll make everything alright, daddy, I swear!
 Hey!
 That girl you had didn't have no sense, dear
 Wasn't worth all the time that you spent
 And that same man that throwed you outdoors
 I just heard that he stole all your clothes, hey
 Well, tell mama
 All about it
 Tell mama
 What you need
 Tell your mama, babe
 What you want
 Tell your mama, babe
 What you need
 What you want
 What you need
 What you want
 Anything I can do
 Anything I can do for you, baby
 Tell your mama, babe!
 Tell your mama, babe!
 Tell your mama, babe!
 Tell your mama, babe!
 Tell your mama, babe!
 Tell your mama, babe!
 Hey!
 Every time you get lonely, lonely, lonely
 Every time you get lonely sometime
 Every time you get lonely, lonely, lonely
 Every time you get lonely sometime
 Every time you got to cry, cry
 Every time you gotta cry
 Every time you got to cry, cry, cry
 Every time you gotta cry
 Well, I'll tell you, dear
 If you're a woman
 I can only assume
 That you already know what ùou're looking for, baby
 If you ever, if you were lookin', if you were lonely
 If you were lookin', or lonely
 I know what you're lookin' for
 And I figured it out at fourteen years old
 And I been lookin' for it every since, too, man
 However, if you happen to be a very young man
 (Preferably a young man)
 I'll tell you what you need, man
 When you wake up an' it doesn't feel right, man
 Your head don't feel right, nothin' feels right
 I'll tell ya what you need?
 You need a sweet lovin' mama, babe
 Sweet talkin' mama, baby
 You need a sweet lovin' mama, babe
 You need someone to listen to you
 Someone to talk to you
 Someone to hear you
 Someone to want you
 Someone to need you
 Someone to use you
 Someone to hold you
 Want you, talk, listen, hold ya, want you, need you
 Hold you, need you, want you, need you, hold you
 Won't you need me mama, mama, mama, mama baby
 Hey now, mama, mama, mama, mama, baby
 Lord, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, baby
 Hey, mama, mama, mama, mama, babe
 Tell mama all about it
 Tell mama all about it
 What you need, what you want
 What you need, what you want
 Anything I can do
 Anything, baby, I can do for you
 Tell your mama, babe
 Whoa mama babe!
 Whoa mama babe!
 Whoa mama babe!
 Whoa mama babe!
 Whoa mama babe!
 Whoa mama babe!
 Whoa mama babe!
 Whaa mama babe!
 Whaa mama babe!
 Whaa mama babe!
 Whaa mama babe!
 Yeah
 An' I'll make everything alright, yeah!
 Hey!
 Alright!
