Hup hup hup hup
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
Don't mess me around
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
Don't bring me down
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
The whip and the slap ripped the shirt off my back
My skin did dry up and crack
I've coconut shells for shoes on my feet
Talk about the state I'm in and these are the things I'm thinking about
Hey!
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
Don't mess me around
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
Don't bring me down
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
The whip and the slap ripped the shirt off my back
My skin did dry up and crack
I've coconut shells for shoes on my feet
Talk about the state I'm in and these are the things I'm thinking about
Hey!
Hup hup hup hup
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
Don't mess me around
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
Don't bring me down
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
(Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter)
Don't mess me around
Ooh she said, you she said, me I said, yes she said
(Mother Mother, take me to where life's sweeter)
Don't bring me down
