Mama Take Lyrics

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
On the road
But I won't be gone too long
Babe, I'm leaving you tomorrow
On my way
And you know you make me strong
I'll be thinking about you
All night long

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, shake just a little bit
Mama, brake just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
All alone
And, I'm feeling down today
Won't let nothing come between us
Say the words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinking about you everyday

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, shake just a little bit
Mama, brake just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
I believe that we belong beyond a doubt
If we have a change of heart
We can always change our mind
And I know we'll work it out
I can see that it's the only way to go
It's the only chance I get
It's the only way you'll know
That I love to love you
Mighty love
Getting hard to find today
I believe in you forever
Say the words
And the words are meant to say
I'll be thinking about you everyday

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart
Mama, shake just a little bit
Mama, brake just a little bit
Mama, take just a little bit from my heart

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
