GDFC
I need a mother, I'm sorry but it's true
GDFC
I need a lover, Not someone like you
FGCC/BAmG
I been your daddy for too long of a time
FGCC/BAmG
Need a little mothering just once in a while
FGFC
I need a mother, I'm sorry but it's true
GDFC (+1 octave)
GDFC
It's undercover, the way it's always been
GDFC
I should have said something, But I didn't know where to begin
FGCC/BAmG
You've been taking everything I have to give
FGCC/BAmGF
But I don't have no more, This ain't no way for me to live
GFC
I need a mother, I'm sorry, that's just how it is
GDFC (+1 octave)
GDFCGDFC
I need a mother, It's really nothing new
GDFCA little help sometimes, That's just what you do
FGCC/BAmG
I been your daddy for too long of a time
FGCC/BAmG
Need a little help, you know, Just once in a while
FGFC
I need a mother, I'm sorry but it's true
