Roy Orbison - Mean Little Mama Lyrics






Well why do you treat me so mean
You're the meanest thing I've ever seen
You won't let a-me hold you tight
You won't let a-me love you right
But you know I love you
So why do you do me like you do
Say maybe liffle baby, I'm nervous as a bug
You got me crazy little baby, you know you tear me up
You're a mean little mama, ah-ah
Yeah a mean little mama, ah-ah
Well I'm down on my knees for you
Well I'm beggin' and a-pleadin'
Oh please-please love me too

    Dang, if only Columbia records had accepted his Hey, Miss Fannie/Ooby Dooby record and signed him for at least one album, we most likely would have more songs like this from him.
