Eels - I Need a Mother lyrics

I need a mother I'm sorry but it's true I need a lover Not someone like you I been your daddy for too long of a time Need a little mothering just once in a while I need a mother I'm sorry but it's true It's undercover, the way it's always been I should have said something But I didn't know where to begin You've been taking everything I have to give But I don't have no more This ain't no way for me to live I need a mother I'm sorry, that's just how it is I need a mother It's really nothing new A little help sometimes That's just what you do I been your daddy for too long of a time Need a little help, you know Just once in a while I need a mother I'm sorry, but it's true
