That my mother was a person in her own right
Now I realize how very lucky I have been
And there, but for the grace of God, go I

Mother dear - she can see inside
Mother dear - and I've nowere to hide
Mother dear - did I spoil your plans?
Mother dear - I do the best I can

When I was a teenager I really did believe
That my parents had adopted me

Mother dear - she already knows
Mother dear - she'll never let me go
Mother dear - kept me warm and safe
Mother dear - I'll never loose my faith in mother dear

If I ever ger arrested by CIA

They won't need lie detector, al they have to do

Mother dear - and I've nowere to hide
Mother dear - kept me warm and safe
Mother dear - I'll nevel loose my faith in mother dear

Mother dear - did I spoil your plans?
Mother dear - I do the best I can.
