Hey mama, take a look at me now
Things are going fine here in the big town
Hey mama, if you could only see
All of my friends and how they love me

And I know you say I need Jesus
Mama can't you see I'm doing fine
Oh, yes I know
And I know you say I need Jesus
But mama I ain't got the time
But mama I ain't got the time. No, no

Hey mama, it's been two long years
Since I have seen you - how I need you here
Hey mama, things they aren't the same
Since I last wrote you - Yea things have changed

And I know you say I need Jesus
Mama can't you see I'm doing fine
Oh, yes I know you say I need Jesus
But mama I ain't got the time
No, I ain't got the time. No, no
No, no, mother
No, no, mother
Mother
Well everything's going wrong
Yes, everything's going wrong
No, I can't take it no more
Well everything's going wrong
Yes, everything's going wrong
No, I can't take it no more
And I need Jesus, I guess I need Jesus, forgive me
Come into my life. Come into my heart
Precious Jesus
Precious Jesus

And I know you say I need Jesus
Mama can't you see I'm doing alright
And I know you say I need Jesus
But Mama He is in my life
Yes, He is in my life. Yeah, yeah!
Oh Mama, Jesus saved me
Oh mother, yes, yes
Know that, mother, Jesus saved me
Oh, mother, mother, yeah
