Lyrics Oh Mother of Mine - The Temptations

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)

Oh, mama (please mother)
Oh, mama (please mother)
Oh, mama (please mother)
Come on and tell me right now
How much about love, you don't understand?
Yes, you know that you are wrong
Or when you thought you were wrong
Yes, it was that young girl
She put you in such a whirl

Yeah, I said mama don't you worry now, yeah
I guess I had it coming anyhow, yes I did
I'm gonna do everything you say
Ooh, each and every day

I'm gonna be a man (oh yes, he's gonna be a man)
Yes, I am, now that I understand (now he understands)
Hmm, I'm not gonna be no fool no more (he's not fool no more)
Yeah, because you told me so (like, like he was before)

Whoa, mother (please mother)
Oh, mother (please mother)
Oh, mother (please mother)
Come on and tell me now (mother, he is gonna be alright)
Oh, yeah come on and tell me now
I am really sorry (mother, he is gonna be alright)
Oh, yes I am really sorry
I'm gonna take it easy (mother, he is gonna be alright)
