Mama you know, I'm not the kind to hold no grudge
I don't know who's to blame
It ain't my place to judge
But Mama you hurt me
Like I never hurt before
And I just can't stand it no more
I just decided, that this ain't no way to live
'Cause loving you, takes more
Then I'm prepared to give
You made me cry so much
My eyes are red and sore
And I just can't stand it no more
Oh no, I just can't stand it no more
Mama let your light keep on shining
I won't be here, and I won't see
But I will always remember
When your light used to shine for me
Shine on me
I begged and I pleaded
But you would not hear my voice
I'm only leaving 'cause I have no other choice
Gonna leave you standing
On that New York city shore
'Cause I just can't stand it no more
Mama you know, I'm not the kind to hold no grudge
I don't know who's to blame
It ain't my place to judge
But Mama you hurt me
Like I never hurt before
And I just can't stand it no more
Oh no, I just can't stand it no more
Whoo hoo hoo hoo...
