[Verse 1]

Oh, please don't ask me

How I feel, I feel fine

Oh, I cry a bit

I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine

When can I see you?

When can I touch you?


[Verse 2]

Again and again

I ask myself was I wrong?

Oh, but time's a healer

And heaven knows I've been strong (Ah-hah)

Maybe we could try

Oh, maybe we would work this time


[Chorus]

Oh, I can remember when

It was easy to say I love you

But things have changed since then

Now I really can't say if I still do

But I can try 'cause I know that the kids are well

Yes, you're a mother to the world

Oh, but I miss my boy

I hope he's good as gold


[Verse 3]

But enough of me

Tell me how are you? You look good (You look good)

Well, you lost some weight, I can see

Your hair looks nice, you look good (Ah-hah)

Maybe we should try

No, don't say it, 'cause I know why


[Chorus]

Oh, but you know, I can remember when

It was easy to say I love you

But things have changed since then

Now I really can't say if I still do

But I can try, 'cause I know that the kids are well

Yes, you're a mother to the world

Oh, but I miss my boy

Oh, I hope he's good as gold


[Outro]

Hah, hah, ooh, ooh
