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
