Mother Dear

Something's on my mind Mother dear the boy keeps me crying Don't know which way to turn Keeps me so confused Keeps me so confused Mother dear 'Cause for him I yearn But he treats your daughter bad Keeps your daughter sad I wish I didn't love him so 'Cause now I can't let him go His kiss gets a little sweeter Ooh, my heart gets a little weaker I'm falling deeper Deeper in love each day I know he's no good for me But I'm too weak to break away Ooh, each day love gets a little stronger Ooh, heartaches lasts a little longer Help, help me mother dear 'Cause I can't help myself Ooh, he treats your daughter bad Keeps your daughter sad So many times I've tried Telling him we're through But when he takes me in his arms There's nothing I can do Ooh, it's no use I can't break loose I keep loving him more and more and more each passing day All my love to him I give it Without him around I couldn't live I need him so And he knows it Can't let him go And I show it Help, help me mother dear I'm so in love with him But he treats your daughter bad Keeps your daughter sad Help, help me mother dear Help, help me mother dear Ooh, he keeps your daughter crying Keeps your daughter sad
