[Verse 1]
My life is plagued
By mistakes, broken love
Slaps in the face
But I'm trying to care
To dare to embrace
Your face
[Chorus 1]
Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let her be my mother for now
[Verse 2]
I want to find
Where the maid in the street
Is pouring her wine
I heard she takes you in
And gives you the words
You need said
[Chorus 2]
If you'll be her brother
She'll kiss you like a sister
She'll even be your mother
For now
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother
Let it be my father
[Chorus 3]
I will be her brother
Kiss her like a sister
Come and be my mother
Forever
[Instrumental Outro]
