FZ’s own note for this track:
/ MOTHERLY LOVE … (2:43) is a body commercial for the band. It is sung during live performances to advise the female audience of potential delights to be derived from social contact with us folks. Trivial poop.'
[Chorus]
Motherly love, Motherly love
Forget about the brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love is just the thing for you
You know your Mothers' gonna love ya
'Til ya don't know what to do
[Verse 1]
The Mothers got love that'll drive ya mad
They're ravin' 'bout the way we do
No need to feel lonely, no need to feel sad
If we ever get a hold on you
What you need is
[Chorus]
Motherly love (c'mon, get it now), Motherly love
Forget about the brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love is just the thing for you
You know your Mothers' gonna love ya
'Til ya don't know what to do
[Verse 2]
Nature's been good to this here band, don't ever think we're shy
Send us up some little groupies and we'll take their hands
And rock 'em till they sweat and cry
What you need is
[Chorus]
Motherly love (get it now), Motherly love
Forget about the brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love is just the thing for you
You know your Mothers' gonna love ya
'Til ya don't know what to do
[Verse 3]
We can love ya 'til ya have a heart attack
You'd best believe that's true
We'll bite your neck and scratch your back
'Til you don't know what to do
What you need is
[Chorus]
Motherly love, Motherly love
Forget about the brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love is just the thing for you
You know your Mothers' gonna love ya
'Til ya don't know what to do
[Outro]
You know I've got a little motherly love for you baby, yeah
You know I've got a little motherly love for you honey, yeah
You know it doesn't bother me at all
That you're only eighteen years old
'Cause I got a little motherly love for you, baby
