Sting & Police - Mother lyrics

rate me

Words & Music by Andy Summers

Well, the telephone is ringing,

Is that my mother on the phone?

Telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

The telephone is screaming

Won't she leave me alone?

The telephone is ringing

Is that my mother on the phone?

Well every girl that I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end

Every girl I go out with

Becomes my mother in the end

Well, I hear my mother calling

But I don't need her as a friend

Oh, Oh mother

Oh mother dear please listen

And don't devour me

Oh mother dear please listen

Don't devour me

Oh women please have mercy

Let this poor boy be

Oh mother dear please listen

And don't devour me
