Tell Mama
Empowering Resurgence: Tell Mama's Redemption
Lyrics
You thought you had found yourself a good girl,
You believed you found a trustworthy and good woman for yourself.
One who would love you and give you the world.
Someone who would love you deeply and provide you with everything.
Then you find, babe, that you've been misused,
Later, you discover that you've been mistreated or taken advantage of.
Come to me, honey, I'll do what you choose.
Turn to me, and I will fulfill your desires and choices.
She'd embarrass you anywhere,
This woman would bring shame upon you in any situation.
She'd make her friends think that she didn't care
She would make her friends believe that she doesn't care about you.
Give me the chance and I'd been begging
If given the opportunity, the speaker would have pleaded for your affection.
And I just want to take care of you and I want you to
The speaker wants to take care of you and be there for you.
Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need
Express your troubles to me, share everything with Mama.
Tell Mama, what you want and I'll make everything alright
Inform Mama about your desires, and she will make everything right.
The girl you had didn't have no sense,
The previous girl lacked common sense or sensibility.
She wasn't worth all the time that you spent
She wasn't worth the time and effort you invested in the relationship.
Had another man throw you out the door,
Another man has replaced you in her life, and he has discarded you.
Now that same man is wearing your clothes
The man who replaced you is now wearing your clothes, suggesting a deep betrayal.
I want you to
The speaker emphasizes the importance of communicating with your mother.
Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need
Share your desires with Mama, let her know what you need.
Tell your Mama, what you got to have
Reiterate the call to communicate with Mama about what you must have.
