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 heading somewhere

All I want is the comfort and care

Just to know that my woman gives me sweet mother love

Uh huh


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 and 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

Uh huh

(Mother love)


My body's aching, but I can't sleep

My dreams are all the company I keep

Got such a feeling as the sun goes down

I'm coming home to my sweet mother love

(Mother love)

(Mother love)


Day oh (day oh)

Day oh

Day oh

I think I'm going back to the things I learnt so well in my youth

Waaaaaaaah...
