Pretenders - I'm A Mother

I'm a mother! Ugh
Treat me like a mother

You want to suck on my breast it's no surprise you do
I'm the source and the force you owe your life to brother
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, you don't humiliate me
remember I'm a lifelong member
Oh-oh-oh, I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother

In the middle of the night I'd be deep in a dream
you fancy a little 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 I have to suffer his pride
Like a mother

Oh-oh-oh

You say your protection is proof of your affection
if I need security - I'll keep a gun on me
Ohhh... don't bother with me, don't bother with me
Little sacrifices go straight to heaven
but hunting season's over this is the 20th century
Ohhh... don't bother with me
Oh-oh-oh, I'm a mother
And I ache like a mother

If there is a terrible crash and bodies thrown everywhere
I'll wrap them up and carry them if someone has to bury them brother
Oh-oh, they call upon mother! Owww

I'm the vessel of life I got the trauma here to prove it
when it's time for me to labour for you everybody move it
Like a mother

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
