Lyrics
Mama, he pays no attention to me
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Don't he like the way I wear my hair?
Oh mama, it's so unfair
For me to love him like I do
And for my love to be true
To love a guy when I can see
That he don't care about me
No matter what I do, he just won't say
"Oh gee, you look nice today"
He didn't notice my brand new dress
Oh mama, I tried my best
To show him that I care
It's just so unfair
To love a guy when I can see
That he don't care about me
Showed my love in a thousand ways
Hoping he would notice me one of these days
Dropped my hankie and he walked right by
He didn't even notice, oh me oh my!
Mama, he doesn't even know my name
Oh dear, it's such a doggone shame
Don't he know that I could make him gay?
Give him lovin' both night and day
Why is love so cruel?
Oh I am just a fool
To love a guy when I can see
That he don't care about me
To love a guy when I can see
Oh-that-a he don't care about me
No, no, no, he don't care
It's just so unfair
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Don't he like the way I wear my hair?
Oh mama, it's so unfair
For me to love him like I do
And for my love to be true
To love a guy when I can see
That he don't care about me
No matter what I do, he just won't say
"Oh gee, you look nice today"
He didn't notice my brand new dress
Oh mama, I tried my best
To show him that I care
It's just so unfair
To love a guy when I can see
That he don't care about me
Showed my love in a thousand ways
Hoping he would notice me one of these days
Dropped my hankie and he walked right by
He didn't even notice, oh me oh my!
Mama, he doesn't even know my name
Oh dear, it's such a doggone shame
Don't he know that I could make him gay?
Give him lovin' both night and day
Why is love so cruel?
Oh I am just a fool
To love a guy when I can see
That he don't care about me
To love a guy when I can see
Oh-that-a he don't care about me
No, no, no, he don't care
It's just so unfair
