I've been a bad girl
I ain't playin' fair
I want you to be free
But I don't wanna share

No, I don't wanna let you go
But it's about time I do
Well, I can't blame you anymore
But I still love you

I know it ain't easy
Being left on your own
Why did you leave me?
Well, I don't really know

And why wait another day
When a day won't change a thing?
Please don't ever let me say
That again

Mama, I ain't waiting
I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on, yeah

Mama, I ain't waiting
No, I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on
Holding on, baby

Mama, I ain't waiting
No, I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on, yeah

Mama, I ain't waiting
No, I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on
