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

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 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 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 the company I keep

Got such a feeling as the sun goes down
I'm coming home to my sweet -

Mother love
