Lyrics

no affection were the words that stuck on my mind, when she walked out on me for the very last time, oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say, i don't know what i've done to be treated this way, in a cold dirty room that's where i found myself, with a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf, oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say, i don't know what i've done and i'm feeling so ashamed, then an angel appeared she was just 17, in a dirty old town with a conscious so clean, oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say, she's brought back the life that i once threw away
