[Verse]
G
Mama won't you write me a letter?
C G
Stick it in the US Mail
G
And mama I do hope you feel better
C G
For you, I will not fail
[Chorus]
Em Am7
I may not always be there when you need me
G
But don't be scared
Em Am7
You may not always be there when I need you
G
But I have no fear
[Verse]
G C
And mama I know you've done things
C G
In which you are not proud
G
But mama me, if only me, would know
G C G
The things that'd you'd go through, to wow a crowd
G
'Cause when I was a little girl, you'd dress me like Bardot
C G
And the hallway'd become a catwalk, and you'd watch me go to the show
G
Said, "All the little girls were pretty, but I was pretty like fresh flowers"
C G
I was a superhero, mama, with superpowers
[Chorus]
Em Am7
You may not always be there when I need you
G
But I'm not scared
Em Am7
I may not always be there when you need me
G
But have no fear
[Verse]
G
I'm right here in your ear
Em Am7
I will be leaving soon, oh yeah, all of you
G
So take care of each other out there
Em Am7
For I will always be in your heart, you see
G
I'm right here, put your hand over your chest
Em
Oh, and always do your best
[Intrumental]
Em Am7 G Em Am7 G
[Bridge]
Em Am G
Come Lola, come Clementine, come Zuzu
Em Am7 G
Come Loretta, come Sierra, come Blue
Em Am7 G
Come Honey, come children, come kids
Em Am7 G
Oh, the whole world is out dancing in the street
Em Am G
Kick off your shoes, child, feel the cold and wet concrete
[Outro]

Mama won't you write me a letter?
Stick it in the US Mail
And mama I do hope you feel better
For you, I will not fail
I may not always be there when you need me
But don't be scared
You may not always be there when I need you
But I have no fear
And mama I know you've done things
In which you are not proud
But mama me, if only me, would know
The things that'd you'd go through, to wow a crowd

And the hallway'd become a catwalk, and you'd watch me go to the show
Said, "All the little girls were pretty, but I was pretty like fresh flowers"
I was a superhero, mama, with superpowers
You may not always be there when I need you

I may not always be there when you need me
But have no fear

I will be leaving soon, oh yeah, all of you
So take care of each other out there
For I will always be in your heart, you see
I'm right here, put your hand over your chest
Oh, and always do your best
Come Lola, come Clementine, come Zuzu
Come Loretta, come Sierra, come Blue
Come Honey, come children, come kids
Oh, the whole world is out dancing in the street
Kick off your shoes, child, feel the cold and wet concrete
