Song Lyrics

Motherly love
Motherly love
Forget about
The brotherly and other-ly love

Motherly love
Is just the thing for you
You know your mothers' gonna love ya
'Till ya don't know what to do

The mothers got love
That'll drive ya mad
They're ravin' 'bout the way we do
No need to feel lonely
No need to feel sad,
If we ever get a hold on you
What you need is

Motherly love
(Come on, get it now)
Motherly love
Forget about
The brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love
Is just the thing for you
You know your mothers' gonna love ya
'Till ya don't know what to do

Nature's been good
To this here band
Don't ever think we're shy
Send us up some little groupies
And we'll take their hands
And rock 'em till they sweat and cry
What you need is

Motherly love
(Get it now)
Motherly love
Forget about
The brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love
Is just the thing for you
You know your mothers' gonna love ya
'Till ya don't know what to do

We can love ya
'Till ya have a heart attack
You'd best believe that's true
We'll bite your neck
And scratch your back
'Till you don't know what to do
What you need is

Motherly love
Motherly love
Forget about
The brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love
Is just the thing for you
You know your mothers' gonna love ya
'Till ya don't know what to do

You know I've got a little motherly love for you baby, yeah
You know I've got a little motherly love for you honey, yeah
You know it doesn't bother me at all
That you're only eighteen years old
'Cause I got a little motherly love for you baby
