Lyrics
You thought you'd found a good girl
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you've been misused
Talk to me to, I'll do what you choose, I want you to
Tell Mama
All about it
Tell Mama
What you need
Tell Mama
What you want
And I'll make everything alright
That girl you had didn't have no sense
She wasn't worth all the time that you spent
She had another man throw you outdoors
Now the same man is wearing your clothes, I want you to
Tell Mama
All about it
Tell Mama
What you need
Tell Mama
What you want
And I'll make everything alright
Oooh
Tell me, tell me now
She would embarrass you anywhere
She'd let everybody know, she didn't care
Give me a chance, I've been begging you
And I just take of you, I want you to
Tell Mama
All about it
Tell Mama
What you need
Tell Mama
What you want
Tell Mama
What you want right now
Tell me
Tell your Mama
I'm your Mama
Tell me what you want
