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.

Chorus:
And I know you say I need Jesus
Mama can't you see I'm doing fine
And I know you say I need Jesus
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 - yeah things
Have changed

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

Well everything's going wrong
No, I can't take it no more (repeat)
I need Jesus, forgive me
Come into my life. Come into my hear.
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.
