I wanna mother you, smother you |
|
With a love you've never known |
|
I wanna talk to you, |
|
Say sweet things to you |
|
Let you know that i'm yours alone |
|
Now, you need a lot of loving, |
|
And my darlin', you need it now |
|
You've been alone for so long |
|
You've forgotten what love is all about |
|
Let me rock you in the cradle of my arms, |
|
Let my love protect you from all harm |
|
I'll be your shelter when you want me to |
|
I'll be your comfort when you need me to |
|
I wanna mother you, smother you |
|
With a love that's gentle and true |
|
I wanna talk to you, |
|
Say sweet things to you |
|
And my love will see you through |
|
Put your head on my shoulder |
|
Put your hand, darling, in mine |
|
Just let me take you in my arms, |
|
And love away the loneliness you hide |
|
And when life sometimes gets you down, |
|
And you need to cry |
|
Oh, i'll be standing by your side |
|
To be your strength and be your guide |
|
I wanna mother you, smother you |
|
Show me what love is about |
|
I wanna talk to you, |
|
Say sweet things to you |
|
Take away all of your doubt |
|
Just let me mother you, smother you |
|
With a love you've never known |
|
I wanna talk to you, |
|
Say sweet things to you |
|
Let me know that i'm yours alone |
|
Ooh, mother you, smother you |
|
With a love you've never known |
|
I wanna talk to you, |
|
Say sweet things to you |
|
Let me know that i'm yours alone |
|
Mother you, |
|
Smother you |
