OH MOTHER OF MINE

Writers William Stevenson, Otis Williams

[Paul:]

Oh, mother...

Oh mother of mine, I've-I've been blind.

The things that you tell me, yeah, I paid, I really

Paid it no mind.

Oh please, oh please forgive me, yes, I know I was wrong.

But now, now I know, yeah, my place, my place is at home.

Can't you see I've been crying now (Oh yes he's been crying)

Almost dying(Uh-huh, almost dying)

I need your advice mama, yeah (He needs your advice)

(He needs your advice)

Oh, mama (Please Mother)

Oh, mama (Please Mother)

Oh, mama (Please Mother)

Yes, you know that you wrong.

Or when you thought you were wrong.

Yes, it was that young girl.

She put you in such a whirl.

Hmmm, each and every day...

Yes, I am. Now that I understand. (Now he understands)

Hmmm, I'm not gonna be no fool no more (He's not fool no more).
