Janis Joplin Tell Mama Lyrics

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
Tell 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
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,
Whoa!!! an' I'll make
Everything alright,
Daddy, I swear!!!

Hey!!!

That girl you had
Didn't have no sense, dear,
Wasn't worth all the time
That you spent
And that same man
That throwed you outdoors,
I just heard that he stole
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, baby.

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 time you gotta cry.

You need a sweet lovin' mama, babe,
Sweet talkin' mama, baby
You need a sweet lovin' mama, babe.

You need someone to listen to you,
Someone to talk to you,
Someone to hear you
Someone to want you
Someone to need you
Someone to use you
Someone to hold you.

Want you, talk, listen,
Hold ya, want you, need you,
Hold you, need you, want you,
Need you, hold you,
Won't you need me mama,
Mama, mama, mama baby
Hey, now!!! mama, mama,
Mama, mama, baby
Lord, mama, mama, mama,
Mama, mama, baby
Hey!!! mama, mama,

Anything I can do
Anything, baby,

Tell your mama, babe.

Whoa, mama babe!!!...

An' I'll make everything alright,
