Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - Mama Help Me Lyrics






If a child lives with money well, he learns to spend his time
If a child lives with crazy he goes out of his mind
I didn't live with nothin' that's worth talkin' about
But I didn't live with nothin' no I never went without
But there is one thing that I really need to know
What do you have to live with before you learn to grow up
Mama, mama, mama, mama help me
Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do
I've taken giant steps I've walked far away from home
But I need a little help can I make it on my own
Some days I can and some days I can't
And some days I just don't know where it is I'm at
Mama, mama, mama, mama help me
Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do
Mama, mama, mama, mama help me
Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do
Crazy mean crazy people on the street
Mean crazy mean half the people that you meet
You can't love 'em you can't trust 'em
You can't take 'em anywhere
You can't hold 'em you can't tell 'em
That you ever really care
Tell me where will I go when I cannot go to you
Where I don't know when you go I'm going too
Mama, mama, mama, mama help me
Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do
Mama, mama, mama, mama help me
Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do
Mama, mama, mama, mama help me
Mama, mama, mama tell me what to do
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy help me
Daddy, daddy, daddy tell me what to do

    Amazing song woowww 😍

  7. C.... J....

    Such an elaborate video for a song released only as a single. Currently unavailable on any album, according to Discogs. B side: Oak Cliff Bra

  8. F.... ....

    Half the people who taught me education in English thought I was mentally retarded and it made me a social pariah and I had to muster up the will power to tell myself it wasn’t my fault. This system is shit

  9. F.... ....

    Some days I can, and some days I can’t. And some days I just don’t know where it is I’m at. T.T

    F.... ....

    I love you Edie. Just don’t let the giants take control of your earnings... they will steal money well deserved to finance endorsements and environmental damage projects

  10. J.... M....

    SHOULD SHE NOT REALIZE THAT THESE ARE HER VERSES NOT WRIT FOR LENNYS OR LISSAS I WON'T WEEP, WON'T CAJOLE, NO MORE MOANS, CREEPS, OR CURSES JUST A LIL MISS S: MINI DRESSES

    *news at eleven • film at eleven*

  11. a.... f....

  17. G.... L....

    This song is awesome but the video is fucking weird! Just why? Why the tableau?

    G.... L....

    Grey Liam Nirvana is weirder

  18. S.... J....

    Spin Doctors copy so much

  19. P.... R....

    greetings from Cracow Poland We Love Edi

  20. P.... N....

    It`s strange that none of the music streaming sites have "Ghost of a dog" , wich is the best album, at least that`s what i think

  21. L.... O....

    Great song.allways is a big Edie brickell fan

  22. A.... M....

    I would have liked to have seen Edie do a duet with Suzanne Vega

    A.... M....

    I just came to Edie's page after Suzanne's page! I agree with you totally!

  23. M.... T....

    Edie beat the hell out of little small Paul Simon

    M.... T....

    Mouko#1 The Real One : she should pick on someone her own size.

  24. L.... V....

    Kool gal, as one might expect. Except................................................................

    L.... V....

    @Luke Vaughan she resembles janis joplin a lot can pass as joplins sister in looks. As far as music; and talent pretty mellowt compared to Janis Joplin

    L.... V....

    +Sakura52296


    She's a lot hotter than Janis.

    L.... V....

    They are both from Texas Joplin and Edie.

  25. S.... R....

    this wasn't on "Shooting Rubber Bands At the Stars" and I'm so happy to hear something I've never heard by them before

  26. P.... R....

    i miss these guys wish did more

  27. f.... ....

    One of my favorite albums of all time

  28. m.... g....

    a) the quality of a video shouldn't make or break a band.  a band makes music.  that's to be heard, not seen. b) look up who edie brickell is, and you'll see she did no fizzling.  she simply didn't need to "make it" as a band to live a good life.  c) blind melon and edie brickell have a few similarities musically, but there are big, huge differences, one of them being heroin.

  29. M.... T....

    The female version of Blind Melon. Or Blind Melon is the male version of Edie. Whatever.

  30. R.... M....

    that's right. it was Paul Simon who seeked her out, and for a great song writer to do that is just that... seeking another great song writer.

  31. g.... ....

    MAMA, MAMA, MAMA, MAMA, HELP ME !!

  32. J.... M....

    You think she sounds like ANN WILSON? My jaw is still on the floor.

  33. M.... C....

    So 90's...

  34. K.... ....

    Yeah, well most videos were like that. There were a lot of artists who are embarrassed by their old videos, because typically, the director had some crazy visual idea he wanted to put on the screen, and said "Trust me, it'll look great when you see it on MTV", and of course, more often than not, it didn't. (shrug)

    K.... ....

    Well. The 90s had a very unique concept of visual arts. The intellectual, weird and experimental stuff was on vogue back then. If it aged well or bad, is another history

  35. e.... ....

    the Song Is Great, but Edie, I'm Sure was talked into doing the video background.

  36. r.... ....

    very underrated album

  37. L.... P....

    She " Almost " sounds like Ann Wilson ( Heart ) don't she ? I LOVE this Song, heard it for the 1st time on my way to work THIS MONING 04-09-2013 LOL Love it !!!!

  38. N.... D....

    Awesome music

  39. y.... ....

    Why don't we hear music like this anymore? Or see videos that actually mean something like this one does? I'll tell you why: We sold out to so called entertainment run by those who control everything! I'll tell you something else: the conspiracy theory is not a theory!
    Rock on Edie! And the band is second to none!

  40. b.... ....

    More like ABB territory. The Eagles never swung a tune like this.

  41. b.... ....

    Sick band. Cutting them loose was the equivalent of career suicide.

  42. A.... B....

    She's with a new band called The Gaddabouts. They are making, or just released a new album.

  43. N.... I....

    What is eddie brickell doing nowadays? Anyone knows?

  44. C.... S....

    I have loved this woman as from the day she first played on The David Letterman show. I guess her hubby Paul Simon saw exsactly as I did. A perfect woman. He got his and I've been searching for someone with only a fraction of the love this woman speaks of. Trust me, she is one of a kind for sure. I love Edie. No haters allowed on this page.

  45. s.... ....

    these fucking aDS suck!

    s.... ....

    sfdungeon u still there old timer, I’ll appreciate your music. Just be open minded cause after This it gets much worse you trump jumping humping beanbag of a blob named “your name here” mreow

  46. j.... ....

    Jazz bands should take note of this!

  47. d.... ....

    co za wspaniały luz w śpiewaniu i muzyce... mistrzostwo świata :) pozdrawiam fanów takiej muzy:)

  48. a.... ....

    Por qué ya casi no existen bandas como estas? de verdad sientes el feeling con que tocan la canción

  49. r.... ....

    it sound's like every one plays something different but together it's sounds fantastic ehh how i love this band ;-)

  50. i.... ....

    Najlepszy teledysk wszechczasów !

  51. R.... ....

    @doncarvill1963 Musically it sounds more like Don Henley or the Eagles. Especially the intro. Listen to the guitar.

  52. d.... c....

    I wonder if the guy that said it sounds like Led Zep was referring to the similarity in the style of singing, I think they call it rebop. Don't jump on me,I'm just sayin...

    d.... c....

    don carvill - yep, totally Robert Plant

  53. m.... ....

    @seatteman001 Anyone messes with MY Edie gets creamed by me!!! I LOVES MY EDIE!!!

  54. m.... ....

  57. T.... G....

  58. J.... A....

    @robnothdurft No one told you to listen, it looks like you are the one that sucks! You are probaly one of those people that sit around and bash good bans because you are to afraid to leave your house. Get out and go to a show. You will thank me I promise!

  59. P.... R....

    What a slide solo!

  60. s.... ....

    Non avevo mai sentito questa canzone e visto il video"CHE MERAVIGLIA"

  69. A.... P....

    Que és giro???

  70. E.... B....

    O clip parece de fabrico recente. As calças condizem mais com anos idos e a rapariga parece q n envelhece, provavelmente pq o clip é antigo, mas n o guardo em memória.
    De qq forma mama mama mama, o cabelo da rapariga é giro...
