[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury]
I don't want to sleep with you, I don't need the passion too
I don't want a stormy affair to make me feel my life is headin' somewhere
All I want is the comfort and care
Just to know that my woman gives me sweet mother love, ah-ha

[Bridge: Freddie Mercury]
I've walked too long in this lonely lane
I've had enough of this same old game
I'm a man of the world, they say that I'm strong
But my heart is heavy, and my hope is gone
Out in the city, in the cold world outside
I don't want pity, just a safe place to hide
Mama please, let me back inside

[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury]
I don't want to make no waves, but you can give me all the love that I crave
I can't take it if you see me cry
I long for peace before I die
All I want is to know that you're there
You're gonna give me all your sweet mother love, ah-ha (Mother love)

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Brian May]
My body's achin', but I can't sleep
My dreams are all the company I keep
Got such a feelin' as the sun goes down
I'm comin' home to my sweet mother

[Outro: Freddie Mercury]
(Mother love, mother love
Love, love, love, love)
(God works in mysterious ways)
(Eeeeh dop, de dop, dep dop)
I think I'm going back to the things I learned so well in my youth
