Lyrics The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars

Tell Mama

You thought you'd found, found a good girl

One to love you and give you the world

Now you find that you’ve been misused

Talk to me, I’ll do what you choose

I want you to…

Tell mama all about it

Tell mama what you need

Tell mama

And I’ll make everything alright

That girl you had didn’t have no sense

She wasn’t worth all the time you spent

She had another man throw you outdoors

And now that same man is wearing your clothes

Tell mama all about it

Tell mama what you need

Tell mama

And I’ll make everything alright

She'd embarrass you anywhere

She’d let everybody know she didn’t care

But give me a chance, I’m beggin’ you

And I just wanna take care, take care of you

Tell mama what you need

Tell mama what you need

Tell mama and I'll make everything

I'll make everything,

I'll make everything alright
