You Got To Have A Mother For Me (Long Version) Lyrics

All right
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Some like 'em short, and some like 'em tall
Some like 'em fat, skinny legs and all
But I like 'em boss, and I like 'em prime, ha
And when they walk, you know they draw a crowd
You see?
Ha
You've got to have a mother for me
Ha!
Hey, hey
There was a time when I was all alone
I had a secret, thought I was gone
But somebody dug me, and said, "Now I see what
You're doing to stay ahead of me." And I said
"But I told you, when I get burnt, I use salve
And when I want lovin', a mother, she has to have." You see?
Ha
All right
You've got to have a mother for me
Oh
You see?
Got to have a mother for me
When you walk, all the guys talk
You see?
Hey
All right now
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Now if you're tall and pretty, slim and dark, that's
All right too, if you've got that question mark
Look here now, you can't have everything
Going, you've got to have a part
But if you've got a mother, baby, you know you can't take a heart
You see?
You've got to have a mother for me
One more thing
Do the Funky Four Corners, go on and do the Horse
Show everybody where you're at, and now I know you've got to be boss
So when you start doing your little thing, stop in a small ring, ha
But get back, baby, James Brown is gonna do his thing
You see?
Ha
You've got to have a mother for me
All right
Your high-heeled sneakers, still all right
Your slipping mules are out of sight
But long as you groove when you walk
And when you're fast, the fellas talk
You see?
Ha
You've got to have a mother for me
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ow
Go again
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Uh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Maceo
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Maceo
Oh
Bring it up
Oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, oh, hey
Ha
Baby, let me see you shake when you walk
Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Wait a minute
Your high-heeled sneakers are still all right
Your slipping mules are still out of sight
But as long as you groove me, you move me when she walk
And when she pass, the fellas begin to talk
You see?
You've got to have a mother for me
'Cause there was a time when I was all alone
I had a secret, baby, thought I was gone
But somebody dug me, said, "Now I see" "what
You're doing, brother, to stay ahead of me." But
I said I told you when I get burnt, I use salve
And when I want my lovin', a mother, she got to have
I says a-when I want my lovin', a-when I want my lovin'
A-when I, when I, when I, when I, when I...
A-when I want my lovin', a-when I want my lovin'
When I want my lovin'
I got to have it
Hey, hey, hey, give it to me
I got to have it
Hey, hey, hey, hey, a-give it to me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, I want, I want mine, I want mine, I want mine
Hey, hey, hey
I want mine
A-ha, ha, ha
I got...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Huh
Lord, have mercy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
Maceo
Maceo
Oh
Hey, hey
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Baby
Give it to me, baby
I got to have it
See?
