I'm A Mother
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 I

Have 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 them

Brother.

Oh oh.

I'm the vessel of life I got the trauma here to prove it

When it's time for me to labor for you everybody move it,

Like a mother.
