[Verse 1]

Mama

Please be good, please be good to me

Mama

Please be good, please be good to me

Mama

Hovering over me at night

Mama

Comfort me; make me feel all right


[Pre-Chorus]

I walk alone and

See what boys should never

See in their lifetime


[Chorus]

I live in the world of spirits

And I talk to the walls

Deliver me from

This little hell

Deliver me from

This little hell

Deliver me from


[Verse 2]

Mama

Come and take, come and take my hand

Mama

Try and see, try to understand

Mama

Looking through, looking through my eyes

Mama

Everywhere, always in disguise


[Pre-Chorus]

I walk alone and

See what boys should never

See in their lifetime

I live in the world of spirits

And I talk to the walls

Deliver me from

This little hell

Deliver me from

This little hell

Deliver me from


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Mama

Please be good, please be good to me

Mama

Please be good, please be good to me


[Pre-Chorus]

I walk alone and

See what boys should never see

I hear what boys should never hear

In their lifetime


[Chorus]

I live in the world of spirits

And I talk to the walls

Deliver me from

This little hell

Deliver me from

This little hell

Deliver me from


[Outro]

Mama

Please be good, please be good to me

Mama

Please be good, please be good to me...
