And there, but for the grace of God, go I, go I
They won't need no lie-detector, all they'll have to do
Is make me look into my mother's eyes
Mother dear, did I spoil your plans?
Mother dear, kept me warm and safe
Mother dear, I do the best I can
When I was a teenager, I really did believe
And now I realize how very lucky I have been
Mother dear, she can see inside
Mother dear, she'll never let me go
Mother dear, kept me warm and safe
Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide
Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide
Mother dear, she already knows
And I'll tell them anything they like
Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear
If I ever get arrested by the C.I.A.
That my parents had adopted me
And the way I carried on they must have thought
They'd brought the wrong little baby home from maternity
Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear
Well, I'd like to say I'm sorry but my
Mother dear, she can see inside
Mother dear, did I spoil your plans?
Mother dear, mother dear
My mother dear
Because they take me for a foreign spy
