Mama

[Verse 1]
Mama, leave your front door open tonight
Don't know when I'll be back or if I'll be alright
But I do figure on being pretty late
So mama, leave your front door open tonight

[Verse 2]
I've seen a lot of things that make me blink
For instance, take the ants across the kitchen sink
Now the mountains and the desert stand mighty proud and tall
But they just don't compare to this feeling at all

[Verse 3]
I used to stand up straight, I felt pretty strong
I knew who I was till he came along
And he taught me some things I never knew
Now I don't know what to do, what to do

[Verse 4]
Oh ma, he makes me feel like a bed of hot coals
He hit me so hard, he left me full of holes
So just give me a smile, and everything will be alright
Mama, leave the front door open tonight

[Outro]
He taught me some things I never knew
And now I don't know what to do, what to do
Oh ma, he makes me feel like a bed of hot coals
He hit me so hard, he left me full of holes
So just give me a smile, and everything will be alright
Mama, leave your front door open tonight
