my life is plagued by mistakes love, slaps in the face
but i'm tryin to care, to dare to embrace your face
hug him like a brother
kiss her like a sister
let it be my mother for now

i want to find where the maid in the street is pourin her wine
i heard she takes you in and gives you the words you need said
if you'll be her brother, she 'll kiss you like a siater
she'll even be your mother for now

hug him like a brother
kiss her like a sister
let it be my mother
let it be my father
i will be her brother
kiss her like a sister
come and be my mother forever
