I Want to Take You Home (to See Mama) Songtext
von Syl Johnson

I wanna take you home to see mama
So she can see my shining star
I wanna take you home to see mama
So she can know who you are

This time you′re back from folks at home
I don't know why it took so long
I talked with them on the telephone
They wanna know why my mind is gone


I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
′Cause then I know she'll understand
I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
I wanna do it as fast as I can, whoo, ooh, whoo

Mama don't lie (mama don′t lie)
She′s as sweet as apple pie (sweet as apple pie)
I wanna see the gleam in her eyes (gleam in her eyes)
Wanna say I'm gonna love you ′til the day I die

I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
'Cause then I know she′ll understand
I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
I wanna do it as fast as I can


(I wanna take you home to see mama)
Mama, yeah mama
(I wanna take you home to see mama)
I bring your daughter-in-law home
