No affection were the words that stuck on my mind   When she walked out on me for the very last time   Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say   I don't know what I've done to be treated this way   In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself   With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf   Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say   I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed      Then an angel appeared she was just 17   In a dirty old town with a conscious so clean   Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say   She's brought back the life that I once threw away
