Verse
It was not that long ago it first occurred to me
That my mother was a person in her own right
And now I realize how very lucky I have been
And there, but for the grace of God, go I, go I
Mother dear, she can see inside
Mother dear, and I ve nowhere to hide
Mother dear, did I spoil your plans?
Mother dear, I do the best I can
Verse
When I was a teenager, I really did believe
That my parents had adopted me
And the way I carried on they must have thought
They d brought the wrong little baby home from maternity
Well, I d like to say I m sorry but my
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 lose my faith in mother dear
Verse
If I ever get arrested by the C.I.A.
Because they take me for a foreign spy
They won t need no lie-detector, all they ll have to do
Is make me look into my mother s eyes
And I ll tell them anything they like
Mother dear, she can see inside
Mother dear, and I ve nowhere to hide
Mother dear, kept me warm and safe
Mother dear, I ll never lose my faith in mother dear
Mother dear, mother dear
My mother dear
Outro
Mother dear, did I spoil your plans?
Mother dear, I do the best I can
