View Lyrics

My life had no colorBefore I met you
What could have been dullerThe times I went through
You weakened my resistanceAnd colored my existence
I’m happy, and unhappy too
I’m a red hot MamaBut I’m blue for you
I get purple with angerAt the things you do
And I’m green with envyWhen you meet a dame
But you burn my heart upWith an orange flame.
I’m a red hot mamaBut you white and cold
Don’t you know your MamaHas a heart of gold.
Though we’re in those grey cloudsSomeday you see
That terrific rainbowOver you and me.
