I'm A Mother lyrics
by Pretenders



I'm a mother,Treat me like a mother.You want to suck on my breast,I'm so surprised you do.I'm the source and the force to your life too, brother.Oh oh oh oh I'm a mother,And I take like a mother.I understand blood and I understand pain,There can be no life without it never doubt it.I'm a mother.I gave you all my money,To help the family.But what you do to me don't humiliate me.Remember, I'm a lifelong member.Oh oh oh oh I'm a mother,Treat me like a mother.In the middle of the night I be deep in a dream,You fancy your company you only have to scream loud, brother.Oh oh oh I'm a mother,And I fake like a mother.I understand time and it isn't on my side but to service mankind Ihave to suffer his pride,Like a mother.You say your protection is proof of your affection,If I need security, I'll keep a gun on me.Don't barter with me, don't barter with me.Little sacrifices, go straight to heaven.But hunting season's over,This is the 20th century.Oh don't barter with me.Oh oh oh I'm a mother,And I ache like a mother.If there is a terrible crash and bodies strewn everywhere,I'll wrap them up and carry them, if someone has to bury thembrother.Oh oh.I'm the vessel of life I got the trauma here to prove itWhen it's time for me to labor for you everybody move it,Like a mother.Clark Chang / cchchang@princeton.eduThanks to e9125767@student.tuwien.ac.at andk.caulfield@chemistry.unimelb.edu.au for their help.
