Mother Dear Lyrics - Anthology - Diana Ross & The Supremes

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
