I don't want to sleep with you
I don't need the passion too
I don't want a stormy affair
To make me feel my life is headin' somewhere
All I want is the comfort and care
Just to know that my woman gives me sweet
Mother love, ah-ha
I've walked too long in this lonely lane
I've had enough of this same old game
I'm a man of the world, they say that I'm strong
But my heart is heavy and my hope is gone
Out in the city, in the cold world outside
I don't want pity, just a safe place to hide
Mama, please, let me back inside
I don't want to make no waves
But you can give me all the love that I crave
I can't take it if you see me cry
I long for peace before I die
All I want is to know that you're there
You're gonna give me all your sweet
mother love, ah-ha (mother love)
My body's achin', but I can't sleep
My dreams are all the company I keep
Got such a feelin' as the Sun goes down
I'm comin' home to my sweet
mother love
(Mother love, mother love)
(Love, love, love, love, love, love)
(I think I'm going back to the things I learned so well in my youth)
