Mama Lyrics
Mama, leave your front door open tonight.
Don't know when I'll be back or if I'll be alright,
But I do figure on being pretty late
So Mama, leave your front door open tonight.

I've seen a lot of things that made me blink,
For instance, take the ants across the kitchen sink.
Now the mountains and the desert stand mighty proud and tall
'Cause they just don't compare to this feeling at all.

I used to stand up straight, I felt pretty strong.
I knew who I was 'til he came along,
And he taught me some things I never knew;
Now I don't know what to do,
What to do.

Oh Mama, he makes me feel like a bed of hot coals.
He hit me so hard he left me full of holes,
So just give a smile and everything will be all right.
Oh Mama, leave the front door open tonight.

He taught me some things I never knew;
Now I don't know what to do,
What to do.

Oh Mama, he makes me feel like a bed of hot coals.
He hit me so hard he left me full of holes,
So just give a smile and everything will be all right.
Mama, leave your front door open tonight.
