Mother Dear lyrics

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
