Help Me Mama Lyrics

(R. Sawyer/S. Silverstein)

Help me mama she's touching my heart
And I just can't keep her away
Stop her mama I can't let it start
Mama please make her go away

Stop her mama, she's starting to speak
I'm afraid she might talk me away
Help me mama, I'm getting weak
'Cause I've been through this before and I can't take anymore
Mama please make her go away

Mama, she's getting so close I'm afraid
Mama she's got me feeling that same old way

Help me mama she's touching my heart
And I just can't keep her away
Stop her mama I can't let it start
'Cause I've been through this before and I can't take anymore
Mama please make her go away

Mama, she's getting so close I'm afraid
And Mama she's got me feeling that same old way
Mama, she's getting so close I'm afraid
And Mama she's got me feeling that same, same, same old way

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.
