EELS - I Need A Mother lyrics

rate me

I need a mother

I'm sorry but it's true

I need a lover

Not someone like you

I been your daddy for too long of a time

Need a little mothering just once in a while

I need a mother

I'm sorry but it's true

It's undercover, the way it's always been

I should have said something

But I didn't know where to begin

You've been taking everything I have to give

But I don't have no more

This ain't no way for me to live

I need a mother

I'm sorry, that's just how it is

I need a mother

It's really nothing new

A little help sometimes

That's just what you do

I been your daddy for too long of a time

Need a little help, you know

Just once in a while

I need a mother

I'm sorry, but it's true
