Did he call today, Mama?
Did he phone while I was gone?
If he never calls again how will l go on?

Do you think he's found another
And that I'm just his used-to-be lover?
Oh, Mama, (Tell me, Mama) did he call for me today?
I want to know

Have you seen him, tell me, Mama?
Have you seen him on our street?
There is something you should tell him if you meet

Tell him that I've been so lonely
And at night I dream of him only
Oh, Mama, (Tell me, Mama) did he call for me today?
Hey, yeah

All of my friends ask me about him
Should I tell them we're through? I don't want to
You should know I can't go on without him
Mama, what can I do?

Did he, did he, did he call again, Mama?
Did he phone while I was gone?
If he never calls again how will I go on?

Do you think he's found another
And that I'm just his used-to-be lover?
Oh, Mama, (Tell me, Mama) did he call for me today?
(Tell me, Mama) Oh, Mama, your little girl is so lonely
(Tell me, Mama) Did he call, did he call for me? yeah
(Tell me, Mama) Tell me quick now
