Mama Says - Ibeyi

The man is gone

And mama says

She can’t live without him

The man is gone

And mama says

There is no life without him

She has no one to stop her tears

A man who heals and calms down her fears

She needs to wake up in her man’s arms

And to be loved just like a child

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh

The man is gone

And mama says

That she can’t live without him

The man is gone

And mama says

There is no life without him

How can I tell her the way I feel?

I’m afraid she’d be hurt and sink

It pisses me off, it drives me mad

That she lets herself feel so bad

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh

The man is gone

And mama says

That she can’t live without him

The man is gone

And mama says

There is no life without him
