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 love him 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 |
|
He keeps your daughter crying |
