Lyrics:

Tell me Mama, what's on your mind?
It seems to me it's something different every single time
Well I'm down here on my knees
Let me know the way it's gonna be
Tell me Mama, what's on your mind?

Tell me Mama, what I'm supposed to do
I'm just a-sittin' here waiting on my orders straight from you
Well I'll be here from now on
I'll do anything to try to get along
Tell me Mama, what's on your mind?

Well I felt that smoke was coming down the line
I might have known it was a matter of time
Now why'd you have to draw that line in the sand?
Why can't you love me for what I am?

Tell me Mama, what's on your mind?
Do you want a Cadillac or this Ford of mine?
Well, I hope there's an end in sight
'cause I wanna find out the answer tonight
Tell me Mama, what's on your mind?
