Look The Other Way

Look the Other Way

Mama I’m hurtin’
In the worst way
I got no money in my pocket
No place to stay
And when I see you out in the streets
Never know what to say
But it doesn’t matter, mama, if you always look the other way

Mama I’m searchin’ every night and day
I’m lookin’ for the means to pay
For all the wrongs that I’ve done
For the nights I left you lone in wait
But I’m always gonna owe you if you always look the other way

I’ve been a fool I know
I’m tryin’ to find a way to show you
That you’re the only one, babe
The only one I’ll ever want
So I’m learnin’
Learnin’ to be a better man
I’m not certain but I think I can

But if I fall short just know
I’ve done all I can do to change
But you’re never gonna notice if you always look the other way
Mama you’re never gonna notice if you always look the other way
