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 said I need Jesus
But mama can't you see I'm doing fine
Yes I know, you said I need Jesus
But mama I aint got the time, no I aint got the time
No, no

Hey mama, it's been two long years since I have seen you
How are things you hear
Hey mama, things they aren't the same
Since I last wrote you, well things have changed

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

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
Well, 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 said I need Jesus
But mama can't you see I'm doing fine
Yes I know, you said I need Jesus
Well mama he is in my life, yes he is in my life
Yeah, ye
