I can’t be happy, mama, for being so blue
When you keep on worrying the way you do
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
It hurts me too

The man you loving, he don’t want you ’round
So take me mama, let’s leave this town
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
It hurts me too

If he keep on dolling you, the way you do
I may lose my head mama, and my temper too
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
It hurts me too

He wrecked your life mama, right at the start
And if you ain’t careful mama, he will break your heart
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
It hurts me too

I love you baby, you know it’s true
So why put up mama, with the way you do
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
It hurts me too

When things go wrong, so wrong with you
It hurts me too
