Tell Mama

Janis Joplin

Alright!!!

Alright!!!

I'm ready, man!

Whoaa yeah!!!

You thought you had found yourself a good girl,

One who would love you and give you the world.

Then you find, babe, that you've been misused,

Come to me, honey, I'll do what you choose.

I want you to

Well, tell mama

All about it.

Well, tell mama

What you need

Tell your mama, babe,

What you want.

Tell your mama, babe.

What you need

What you want.

What you need

What you want

Whoa! an' I'll make everything alright.

That girl you didn't have no sense, babe,

Wasn't worth all the time that you spent.

That same man he throwed you outdoors,

I just heard that he quartered your clothes, hey!

Well, tell mama

All about it.

Tell mama

What you need.

Tell your mama, babe,

What you want

Tell your mama, babe.

What you need

What you want

What you need

What you want,

Whoaaa! an' I'll make everything alright, babe.

Whoaa... rock & roll!

... baby,

Wasn't worth all the time that you spent.

And that same man that throwed you outdoors,

I just heard that he torn all your clothes, hey.

Well, tell mama

All about it

Tell mama

What you need

Tell your mama, babe

What you want

Tell your mama, babe

What you need

What you want

What you need

What you want

Anything I can do

Anything I can do for you.

Tell your mama, babe!

Your mama, babe!

Your mama, babe!

Your mama, babe!

Hey your mama, babe!

Tell your mama, babe!

Tell your mama, babe!

Tell your mama, babe!

Hey!

Every time you get lonely, lonely, lonely,

Every time you get lonely sometime.

Every time you get lonely, lonely, lonely,

Every time you get lonely sometime.

Every time you got to cry, cry,

Every time you gotta cry.

Every time you got to cry, cry, cry,

Every day, Lord.

And I'd figured

I'll tell you, when you go lonely, an' I figure everybody does, right ?

Because as a matter of fact everybody does.

I figure if you're a woman

Man if you're really a woman

You already know what you need, man.

You already know what you're looking for,

Man, i found out out at fourteen years old

And I been lookin' for it every since, too, man.

But, if you happen to be a young cat,

You know like about seventeen years old, just about

If you happen to be a young cat and you ain't figured it out yet,

I'll tell you what you need, baby,

When you got those strange thoughts in your head

You got those strange little weirdenesses happening to you, you don't know what they are

I'll tell ya what you need ?/font>

You need a sweet lovin' mama, babe,

Honey, sweet talkin' mama, babe.

You need a sweet lovin' mama, babe.

Honey, sweet talkin' mama, babe.

You need someone to listen to you,

Someone to want you,

Someone to hold you

Someone to need you

Someone to use you

Someone to want you

Someone to need you

Someone to hold you

Someone to want you

Someone to hold you

You need a mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, baby

Lordy, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama.

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, yeah!

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, yeah!

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, yeah!

Tell mama all about it

Tell mama all about it

What you need, what you want

What you need, what you want

Anything I can do

Anything I can do

Tell your mama, babe

Yeah your mama babe!

Whoa mama babe!

Whoa mama babe!

Whoa mama babe!

Whoa mama babe!

Whoa mama babe!

Whoa mama babe!

Whaa mama babe!

An' I'll make everything alright, yeah!

Hey! Yeah!
