Mama, just had to call, oh mama
your baby-boy just had his heart broken in two
She said we're through, but to send her best to you

Oh mama, I'd like to run to you, mama
I'd come home today, leave right away
but things won't work that way
Got to stay, be a man, if I can, oh mama

Oh mam, I don't know, I called her tonight
No, not at home, yeah you're probably right
Yes, I'll take care of myself
No, I'll be all right
I'll go to bed early tonight

Oh mama, tell dad I think of him, mama
Has uncle Joe, my puppy Coco
Tell them
Gosh, I loved her so

Mama, don't worry so much, darling mama
No mama, don't cry, just say goodbye
Can't have us both in tears
