Mother Dear — текст песни (Supremes, The)

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)

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
