[Verse 1]
Oh [G]my God,
now how am I going to explain this to [Am]Mama?
[C]Oh, I know she won't [G]understand.
Oh, just the other [C]day,
she [Am]and I was talk[C]ing,
we got on [G]the subject
about being a parent
and how hard it [Am]was.
But [G]then she said, I have raised five,
and I loved every moment of it.
[C]Oh, that made me feel so good.
[G]Right then,
I wanted to tell her about my [Am]problem.
But everything [C]I had planned to say,
[G]I couldn't even remember it.[Am] Oh,[C]
my daddy, I know [Am]he's gonna hit the ceiling
[G]when he finds out.
It seems like only yesterday
[Am]I was the happiest [C]girl in the [G]world.
But if you can see me now,
[Dsus4]oh, what [C]can I sa[G]y?
How can I tell my mom and dad
[Gsus4]I've been bad, I've[F] been bad?
[Dm]How [G]can I tell my mom and dad
[Gsus4]I've been bad, I've[F] been[Dm] bad?[G]
Will they understand,
[Am]how much I love that man?
[G]But oh, will they ever [Am]know,
how much he's hurt me so?
I know I was a [Bm]fool,
to be loved by you
[C]But I've got to find a way,
[D]but what [Dsus4]can I say?
Somebody [G]please,
help me ex[Am]plain,
help me explain
In [G]this misery
Oh [Am]please
[G]He told me that he loved me
[Am]And that our love was true
[G]Oh but when he made me mother to be
[Am]He disappeared on me
Now I'm so ashamed
[Bm]Cause he whipped the game
[C]He left me here to be
[D]In all this misery
[C]Som[G]ebody, please, help me expla[Am]in,
help me explain
this [G]misery, oh [Am]please
Should I go up to mama
an[Em]d say guess what I've done
[Am]Or disappear in the night
[Em]and let them notice I've gone
[Am]Should I go out and do some
[Em]I wouldn't want to
No no
[Am]Or stand up like a big girl
[Dsus4]Tell them abou[D]t me and you
[Dsus4]Somebody plea[C]se[G]
[D]Help me explain
[Gsus4]Help me explain thi[F]s misery[Dm][G]
Oh, [Gsus4]please[F][Gsus4]
[G]Oh yes, I went to mama
[Am]I told her every[G]thing[C]
[G]At first I was crying
I couldn't even get my words [C]out clearly
But she understood what [G]I was
saying all right.
She said, dry your eyes young lady,
[Am]I'm eating [G]now.
[C]One thi[G]ng about my momma,
she always let you know how
[Am]she feels.
Right [G]then daddy comes
storming out the room,
what's the problem?
Oh, I had [C]to start all [Am]over again.
And I got [G]through telling daddy,
he just turned around
and went back in his [Am]room.
Momma [C]said,
everybody [G]can make mistakes baby,
[D]an d you are entitled to one.
[C]Now don't go thinking you
[G]did something great,
because I'm hurt,
but I love you,
and whenever you [Am]need me,
[G]I'm going to [Am]be there.[C]
[Am]I'm glad I went up to Mama
an[Em]d told her just what I've done.
[Am]I didn't disappear in the night
an[Em]d let them notice
something went wrong.
[Am]I didn't go out and do
[Em]something
wouldn't want to.
I [Am]stood up like a big girl
an[Dsus4]d told them about me[D] and yo[Dm]u
Some[C]body [G]please, oh please,
help me ex[Gsus4]plain,
help me [F]ex plain [Dm]this [G]misery
Oh please
[Gsus4]Daddy was[F] so terrif[Dm]ied,[G]
yes [Bm]he w[Gsus4]as
Mo[F]m so ups[Dm]et she thought s[G]he would die,
help [Gsus4]me
How [F]can I [Dm]tell them [G]my mother
to [Gsus4]be?[F][Dm]
[G]You know, I know it's a lot
of you girls out there
That's [Gsus4]in the same situation
that [F]I was in
[Dm]But hey,[G] let me tell you something
You don't [Gsus4]give mama credit
for the thing[F]s that [Dm]she knows[G]
Hey, I went to my [Gsus4]mama
And [Dm]I told her just how [G]I felt
And I told her about my problems
I [Gsus4]don't want to listen to none of
my friend[Dm]s anymore.
[G]
