[Verse 1]
Mama pull over I'll fix up your coffee
Just how you like it, two half and half Sweet & Low
Mama pull over
Mama come home, look I folded your laundry
Scarves, pants, and blouses, underwear, pantyhose
Mama come home

[Chorus]
I see the mascara smeared on your pillow
Crying yourself to sleep alone
I know

[Verse 2]
Mama I'll show you your boy is a man now
Just for you I'm looking both ways when I cross the road
Mama I'll show you
You don't like me overly enthusiastic
I'm painting my mask in these beiges and undertones
Mama don't like it

[Chorus]
I see the mascara smeared on your pillow
Crying yourself to sleep alone
I know
[Verse 3]
The others aren't loving, got nothing on you, Ma
This emptied out heart belongs to you and you alone
Forget the others
Daddy is gone and it's just you and me now
No lover, no father, don't answer the ringing phone
'Cause he's never calling

[Bridge]
In sickness and health you pledged to each other
Now better or worse this boy is your man
Alone

[Chorus]
I see the mascara smeared on your pillow
Crying yourself to sleep alone
I know

[Outro]
Mama pull over I'll fix up your coffee
Just how you like it, two half and half Sweet & Low
