You Got To Have a Mother For Me Lyrics

You got to have a mother for me
One two one two three hey
Alright
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Some like 'em short and some like 'em tall
But Some like 'em fat, skinny legs and all
But I like 'em boss, and I like 'em proud, ha
And when they walk, you know they draw a crowd
See
Ha, you gotta 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 doin' to stay ahead of me
But I said, but I told you when I get burnt
I use sav
And when I want loving, a mother she got to have
See
Alright, you 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
Alright now, hahahaha
Hey, hey hey

Now, if you're tall and pretty, slim and dark
That's alright too, if you got that question mark
Look here, you can't have everything going
You got to have a part
If you got a mother, baby, you know you can't take a halt
You see, you 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 got to be boss
So when you start doing your little thing
Stop at a small ring
Ha, but get back, baby
James Brown is gonna do his thing
You see, ha, you got to have a mother for me alright

Your high-heeled sneakers, still alright
Your slip-in mules are out of sight
But as long as you groove when you walk
And when you're fast, the fellas talk
You see, ha, you got to have a mother for me
Hey hey hey hey, oh
Look here, hey hey hey hey
Uh, hey hey hey hey hey
Maceo, hey hey hey hey hey
Maceo, oh
Hahaha, bring it up

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Oh, oh, hey, ha
Baby, let me see you shake when you walk
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Wait a minute

Your high-heeled sneakers are still alright
Your slip-in mules are still out of sight
But as long as you groove me, groove me when she walks
And when she asks, the fellas begin to talk
See, you got to have a mother for me

Now there was a time when I was all alone
I had a secret, baby, thought I was gone
But somebody dug me, and said now I see
What you're doin', brother, to stay ahead of me
But I said, I told you when I get burnt, I use my sav
And when I want my lovin', a mother she got to have
I said but when I want my lovin', when I want my lovin'
When I, when I, when I, when I, when I, hey

When I want my lovin', when I want my lovin'
When I want my lovin', when I want my lovin', hey ow
