You Make Me Want to Be a Mother

Tammy Wynette · Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 [Epic] [1975]

There's a world full of men

And I could take 'em or leave 'em

'Cause when one would let me down

There'd be ten more standin' 'round to take his place

And I remember back then

How I loved to just deceive 'em

Playin' with 'em like a toy

Then leave 'em like a little boy

With teardrops on his face.



Love was just a game

And I knew just how to play it

And I'll never understand

You were just another man to me

Ahh, but you've got close

To what I cherish most.

Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.



You make me want to be a mother

And walk around with pride

With your char-armin' side

You make me want to be a mother

Ahh, who'd have thought that I would

Ahh, but it feels so good

'Cause you've got close

To what I cherish most.



Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm...
