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 [bad word] and care
Just to know that my woman gives me sweet 
Mother Love…

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…

My body's aching but I can't sleep
My dreams are all [bad word] I keep
Got such a feeling there the sun goes down [bad word] home to my sweet Mother Love…
