Syl Johnson - Diamond in the Rough

I Want to Take You Home (To See Mama)

I wanna take you home to see mama
So she can see my shining star
I wanna take you home to see mama
So she can know who you are

This time you're back from folks at home
I don't know why it took so long
I talked with them on the telephone
They wanna know why my mind is gone

I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
'Cause then I know she'll understand
I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
I wanna do it as fast as I can, whoo, ooh, whoo

Mama don't lie (mama don't lie)
She's as sweet as apple pie (sweet as apple pie)
I wanna see the gleam in her eyes (gleam in her eyes)
Wanna say I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die

I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
'Cause then I know she'll understand
I wanna take you home to see mama (mama)
I wanna do it as fast as I can

(I wanna take you home to see mama)
Mama, yeah mama
(I wanna take you home to see mama)
I bring your daughter-in-law home
