Mama Call Lyrics

can't you hear me mama call
can't you hear me crawling
can't you hear me mama call
can't you hear me trying
can't you hear me when i call
i'm a long way from sight
tonight tonight
it's a long long night
tonight tonight
it's a long long night

can't you see me baby fly
can't you see me falling
can't you hear me when i call
can't you see me fall
can't you hear me mama call
can't you hear me mama call

tonight tonight
it's a long long night
tonight tonight
it's a long long night

can't you hear me mama call
can't you hear me crawling
can't you hear me when i call
can't you see me fall
can't you hear me mama call
can't you hear me mama call
can't you hear me mama call

me hielo en la habitacion
no tengo calefaccion
can't get no satisfaction
so me bajo pa la calle

it's a long long night
can't you hear me mama call
can't you hear me crawling
can't you hear me call
can't you hear me falling
can't you hear me fall
i'm a long way from 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.
