What's keepin' you up, mama?
What's keepin' you up, my love?
Same old dreams from yesterday
I wish I could take away the pain, mama
What's keeping you up, my love? Mm
I'll listen to you explain
Remind you of your courage to change (remind you of your courage to change)
La-la, la-la, la

You call all the time and keep sayin'
I'm not alright, quit playin'
It's the same lullaby every night

Same old conversation, can't turn the TV station
Your favorite broken records, they're always in rotation
I try to lift your spirit and give you motivation
Your love to me is sacred, no, nothing can replace it
You say: It's my story and I'm sticking to it
Oh, I wish that I knew how to fix

What's keepin' you up (what's keepin' you up, what's keepin' you up), mama (mama, mama)?
What's keepin' you up? (What's keepin' you up?)
Night, night, yeah

You call all the time and keep sayin'
I'm not alright, quit playin'
The same lullaby every night

Close your eyes, don't worry, darling
Close your eyes, don't worry now
Close your eyes, don't worry, darling
Close your eyes, don't worry now
Close your eyes, don't worry, darling
Close your eyes, don't worry now
Close your eyes, don't worry, darling
Close your eyes, don't worry now
Mm
