I'm A Mother Lyrics - Last Of The Independents - Pretenders

I'm a mother 

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 

Don't humiliate me 

Remember 

I'm a life-long member 

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 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 

Oh 

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's a terrible crash 

And bodies thrown everywhere 

I'll wrap 'em up and carry 'em 

If someone has to bury them 

Brother 

Oh 

Oh 

Oh 

Call upon mother 

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 

Oh 

Oh 

Oh
