[Verse 1]
       Am
I'm a mother
                 Am
Treat me like a mother
             G
You want to suck on my breast
            G
I'm so surprised you do
                                           Am
I'm the source and the force to your life too, brother
                   Am
Oh oh oh oh I'm a mother
                   Am
And I take like a mother
  G
I understand blood and I understand pain
           G
There can be no life without it never doubt it
       Am
I'm a mother

[Verse 2]
   Am
I gave you all my money,, to help the family
Am
 But what you do to me don't humiliate me
   G                      Am
Remember, I'm a lifelong member
                   Am
Oh oh oh oh I'm a mother
                 Am
Treat me like a mother
        G
In the middle of the night I be deep in a dream
                                                Am
You fancy your company you only have to scream loud, brother
                Am
Oh oh oh I'm a mother
                   Am
And I fake like a mother
  G
I understand time and it isn't on my side but to service mankind I
                         Am
Have to suffer his pride, like a mother

[Verse 3]
 Am
You say your protection is proof of your affection
Am
 If I need security, I'll keep a gun on me
G          Am
Oh, don't barter with me, don't barter with me
 Am
Little sacrifices, go straight to heaven
     Am
But hunting season's over, this is the 20th century
G         Am
Oh don't barter with me
                Am
Oh oh oh I'm a mother
                   Am
And I ache like a mother
               G
If there is a terrible crash and bodies strewn everywhere
                                                           Am
I'll wrap them up and carry them, if someone has to bury them brother
             Am
Oh oh call upon mother
         G
I'm the vessel of life I got the trauma here to prove it
                                                         Am
When it's time for me to labor for you everybody move it, like a mother
