Lyrics

My mother told me just to look Was the same as just to roam I've been reading my Good Book My eyes have bade destruction Oh Lord, I needed a woman Just to make me right Ooh So many people try to figure it out So many folks gettin run around Oh now wait a minute I got a story for you There was a time when love meant nothing I was set in my own ways I kept on moving from woman to woman No one could know my fate Oh Lord, I needed a woman Just to make me right Ooh So many people try to figure it out So many folks gettin run around Oh now wait a minute I got a story for you There was no pill I didn't take No law I didn't break Give me your name and I'll get your number No rock that I hid under My mother told me son Only foolish are drawn Ooh So many people try to figure it out So many folks gettin run around Oh now wait a minute I see the light of day Oh Mother Please don't hate me Oh the life of liberty Put scars right through my feet She said, "What's wrong?" I said, "I am fine." She said, "I pray for you Every day, every night."
