I CALL MAMA

When I’ve got no job and I get no call
In a world so big, and I’m so small
And all I see is the writing on the wall
And I’m so blue I feel nothing at all
I call mama, I call mama, I call mama, I call mama

When what I need I cannot recall
And the sun goes down and the rain starts to fall
And all my hopes and dreams, they start to stall
And the harder I try, the harder I fall
I call mama, I call mama, I call mama, I call mama

When I am down and under it all
Is a feeling that it’s me, that I’m the oddball
And my would-be friends don’t return my calls
And lying in my bed I curl into a ball
I call mama, I call mama, I call mama, I call mama

When summer kisses cool in the fall
‘Cause I gave my love to some femme fatale
And I have lost my baby doll
And every sad song says it all
I call mama, I call mama, I call mama, I call mama

When I’m alone with no one at all
And I have got zilch when I wanted it all
And it seems my fate is too close to call
And I am stunned by the madness of it all
I call mama, I call mama, I call mama, I call mama
