Lyrics
Don't judge me mama
Expressing a plea to avoid judgment, likely from a maternal figure.
Don't tell me that I've done wrong
Rejecting criticism and asserting innocence or justification for actions.
It's a hard business
Referring to life or a particular situation as challenging and demanding.
It's a hard business to make it on your own
Acknowledging the difficulty of succeeding independently in a chosen endeavor.
Don't judge me papa
Requesting understanding from a paternal figure despite internal struggles.
If I can't handle the things in my head
Admitting difficulty in managing one's thoughts or emotions.
Because it's a hard business
Reiterating the tough nature of a particular situation or lifestyle.
Such a hard business walking on the edge
Describing the challenge of living on the edge or at the limits of one's capabilities.
I got nothing and no-one in my life
Expressing a lack of possessions and meaningful connections in life.
So how can I lose again
Pondering the paradox of having nothing to lose and the potential for repeated failure.
Got my feet in muddy water
Metaphorically standing in uncertain or unstable circumstances.
But I'm gonna find that road again
Determined to rediscover a positive path despite current challenges.
So I'll be taking care of business
Committing to taking care of business, indicating a proactive approach.
'Cause I know what I'm looking for
Understanding personal goals and what is sought after in life.
Oh I've been working every hour God gives to man
Emphasizing hard work and dedication to a task, possibly for survival.
But I still see the same closed door
Expressing frustration at encountering the same obstacles repeatedly.
I've got nothing but trouble in my life
Highlighting a life filled with difficulties or challenges.
But I feel I've got a lot to give
Believing in one's potential to contribute positively despite hardships.
Every day I try to build a new world
Expressing a daily effort to create a better world, possibly symbolizing personal growth.
But I've had no-one to build it with
Regretting the absence of companionship in building a new life.
Oh I've been looking for a woman to share my hopes
Searching for a romantic partner to share aspirations and dreams.
But I know I ain't a patch on you
Recognizing one's perceived inadequacy compared to a potential partner.
And I've been thinking that a woman's God's gift to man
Contemplating the value of women in men's lives, possibly hinting at admiration.
Are you thinking the same way too
Prompting the partner to consider similar thoughts or feelings.
So don't leave me mama
Pleading for emotional support and companionship from a maternal figure.
Don't make me go on alone
Expressing fear or reluctance to face challenges alone.
Because it's a hard business
Reiterating the difficulty of a particular situation or lifestyle.
Yes it's a hard business, oooh
Emphasizing the challenging nature of being independent.
Don't leave me papa
Seeking support from a paternal figure during a crisis of self-confidence.
When my belief in myself is gone
Expressing vulnerability and a need for reassurance.
Because it's a hard business
Reiterating the tough nature of a particular situation or lifestyle.
Such a hard business
Highlighting the overall difficulty of a chosen path or lifestyle.
Tell me, it's a hard business
Seeking acknowledgment of the challenges faced when alone.
Being on my own
Affirming the tough nature of being independent and self-reliant.
