《I’m Livin’ In Shame》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm Livin' In Shame - Diana Ross & The Supremes

[00:00:14] Mama was cookin bread

[00:00:16] She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head

[00:00:20] Always had her stockings low

[00:00:21] Rolled to her feet just didn't know

[00:00:24] She wore a sloppy dress

[00:00:26] Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess

[00:00:30] Out of the pot she ate

[00:00:32] Never used a fork or a dinner plate

[00:00:36] I was always so afraid that

[00:00:38] The uptown friends would see her

[00:00:40] Afraid one day when i was grown

[00:00:43] That i would be her

[00:00:48] In college town away from here

[00:00:51] A new identity i found

[00:00:54] That i was born elite

[00:00:56] With maids and servants at my feet

[00:00:59] I must have been insane

[00:01:01] I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to spain

[00:01:06] She never got out of the house

[00:01:07] Never even boarded a train

[00:01:10] Married a guy was living high

[00:01:13] I didn't want him to know her

[00:01:15] She had a grandson two years old

[00:01:17] That i never even showed her

[00:01:19] I'm living in shame

[00:01:23] Mama i miss you

[00:01:28] I know you're not to blame

[00:01:31] Mama i miss you

[00:01:52] Came a telegram

[00:01:54] Mama passed away while making home made jam

[00:01:58] Before she died she cried to see me by her side

[00:02:02] She always did her best

[00:02:04] Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress

[00:02:09] Working hard down on her knees

[00:02:11] Always trying to please

[00:02:14] Mama mama mama can you hear me

[00:02:19] Mama mama mama can you hear me

[00:02:23] I'm living in shame

[00:02:26] Mama i miss you

[00:02:31] I know you've done your best

[00:02:35] Mama i miss you

[00:02:39] Won't you forgive me mama

[00:02:42] For all the wrong i've done

[00:02:44] I know you've done your best

[00:02:46] Oh i know you've done the very best you could

[00:02:50] But i never understood

[00:02:53] Working hard down on your knees
