Lyrics for If I Lose My Mind
Mama, it's so good to be back home again I'm so proud to see that you are looking well Yes, I know that I look a little weary Oh, but Mama, I have been through living hell You know how much I've always loved him, Mama But he done things to me I couldn't understand Why, he made me watch him love another woman And he tried to make me love another man Mama, can I be your little girl again? I need you now even more than I did then And I need a lot of love and understanding And a lot of time to get me over him If I lose my mind, Mama, I wanna be here with you Have them lock me up and see I have good care But I just couldn't stand his torture any longer I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there
