Mama Lyrics

Mama can you hear me I've been calling for a while now
mama can you feel me I'm so hungry for comfort and love and stability
well it's too bad you waited
twenty some odd years
to realize you hated
this mess that you've created
i am never coming home
one day
one day you will want your daughter
you'll be thinking about her
through the years
oh and maybe
maybe you will write her a letter
of return to sender
no one longer lives here
well it's too bad you waited
for twenty some odd years
to realize you hated
this mess that you've created
i am never coming
i am never coming
i am never coming home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
