《I’m Livin’ In Shame》歌词

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

[00:00:17] Mama was cookin' bread

[00:00:19] She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head

[00:00:22] Always had her stockings low

[00:00:24] Rolled to her feet just didn't know

[00:00:27] She wore a sloppy dress

[00:00:28] Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess

[00:00:33] Out of the pot she ate

[00:00:35] Never used a fork or a dinner plate

[00:00:38] I was always so afraid that

[00:00:40] The uptown friends would see her

[00:00:43] Afraid one day when I was grown

[00:00:45] That I would be her

[00:00:51] In college town away from here

[00:00:54] A new identity I found

[00:00:57] That I was born elite

[00:00:58] With maids and servants at my feet

[00:01:01] I must have been insane

[00:01:04] I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain

[00:01:08] She never got out of the house

[00:01:10] Never even boarded a train

[00:01:13] Married a guy was living high

[00:01:15] I didn't want him to know her

[00:01:17] She had a grandson two years old

[00:01:19] That I never even showed her

[00:01:22] I'm living in shame

[00:01:25] Mama I miss you

[00:01:31] I know you're not to blame

[00:01:34] Mama I miss you

[00:01:55] Got a telegram

[00:01:57] Mama passed away while making home made jam

[00:02:01] Before she died she cried to see me by her side

[00:02:05] She always did her best

[00:02:07] Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress

[00:02:12] Working hard down on her knees

[00:02:14] Always trying to please

[00:02:17] Mama mama mama can you hear me

[00:02:21] Mama mama mama can you hear me

[00:02:25] I'm living in shame

[00:02:28] Mama I miss you

[00:02:34] I know you've done your best

[00:02:37] Mama I miss you

[00:02:42] Won't you forgive me mama

[00:02:44] For all the wrong I've done

[00:02:47] I know you've done your best

[00:02:49] Oh I know you've done the very best you could

[00:02:53] Mama I thought you understood

[00:02:56] Working hard down on your knees
