You Got To Have a Mother For Me

Alright

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 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 lovin', 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

Looka 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

Looka here, hey hey hey hey

Uh, hey hey hey hey hey

Maceo, hey hey hey hey hey

Maceo, oh

Hahaha, bring it up
