I'm Livin' In Shame (Version 1) - Diana Ross & The Supremes[00:00:00]

Written by：Richard Dea[00:00:00]

Mama was cooking bread[00:00:14]

She wore a dirty raggedy[00:00:16]

Scarf around her head[00:00:17]

Always had her stockings low[00:00:19]

Rolled to her feet[00:00:21]

Just didn't know[00:00:22]

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

Oh no matter how she tried[00:00:25]

She always looked a mess[00:00:28]

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

Never used a fork[00:00:32]

Or a dinner plate[00:00:33]

I was always so afraid that[00:00:35]

My uptown friends would see her[00:00:37]

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

That I would be her[00:00:42]

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

A new identity I found[00:00:50]

That I was born elite[00:00:53]

With maids and servants[00:00:55]

At my feet[00:00:56]

I must have been insane[00:00:58]

I lied and said mama died on[00:01:01]

A weekend trip to Spain[00:01:03]

She never got out of the house[00:01:05]

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

Married a guy[00:01:10]

Was living high[00:01:11]

I didn't want him to know her[00:01:11]

She had a grandson two years old[00:01:14]

That I never even showed her[00:01:16]

I'm living in shame[00:01:18]

Mama I miss you[00:01:22]

I know you're not to blame[00:01:27]

Mama I miss you[00:01:31]

Came a telegram[00:01:56]

Mama passed away while[00:01:58]

Making home made jam[00:01:59]

Before she died she cried[00:02:02]

To see me by her side[00:02:04]

She always did her best[00:02:06]

Ah cooked and cleaned[00:02:08]

And always in the same old dress[00:02:10]

Oh[00:02:13]

Working hard[00:02:13]

Down on her knees[00:02:14]

Always trying to please[00:02:16]

Mama mama[00:02:18]

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

Mama mama[00:02:23]

Mama can you hear me[00:02:25]

I know you've done your best[00:02:27]

Mama I miss you[00:02:30]

I'm living in shame[00:02:35]

Mama I miss you[00:02:39]

Won't you forgive me mama[00:02:44]

For all the wrong I've done[00:02:46]

I know you've done your best[00:02:48]

Oh I know you've done[00:02:51]

The very best you could[00:02:52]

But never[00:02:55]

Mama I thought you understood[00:02:57]

Working hard[00:02:58]

Down on your knees[00:02:59]

Mama you were[00:03:00]

Always trying to please[00:03:01]

You are so good to me[00:03:03]

Mama I miss you[00:03:06]

Won't you forgive me mama[00:03:10]

For all the wrong I've done[00:03:12]

I know you've done your best[00:03:14]

Oh I know you've done[00:03:17]

The very best you could[00:03:19]

I never understood[00:03:21]

Mama I miss you[00:03:23]
