Mother
Blondie湥 Lyrics

In a packed-in-leather life
My life is full of material possessions and consumerism

I was foolish, you were right
I regret not listening to your advice

All night rookies pass the time
Young and inexperienced people waste time all night long

Looking for somewhere to go
They are searching for a destination or activity

Shiny boots are up their thighs
They are dressed up in flashy clothing and trying to impress others

Mother in the night Calling you, calling you
I am reaching out to you for comfort and guidance

Mother in the night Where are you, where are you now?
I am feeling lost and vulnerable, and wondering where you are

Mother's left the building We're the missing children
I feel abandoned and alone without your presence

Mother, may I stay all night?
Can I have your permission to stay out late?

Lift your curfew like the light
Allow me the freedom to make my own choices and stay out late

Collars turned against the cold
We're bundled up to stay warm in the chilly weather

I'm looking for someone to hold
I'm seeking physical comfort and emotional support

Mother in the night Calling you, calling you
I am still reaching out to you for comfort and guidance

Mother in the night Where are you, where are you now?
My feelings of loneliness and vulnerability persist, and I am still wondering where you are

Now that I can't remember I need you more than ever
I am realizing the importance of your presence in my life now that I am facing struggles and challenges

Why can't we be together always?
I am expressing my desire to have you always by my side for comfort and support

Mother's left the building We're the missing children
My dependence on you is emphasized again, and I feel incomplete without your guidance

Mother in the night Where are you, where are you now?
My search for comfort and guidance continues, and I am still wondering where you are

Mother in the night Calling you, calling you
My emotional plea for your guidance remains constant

Mother in the night Where are you, where are you tonight?
My feelings of loneliness continue into the night, and I am still wondering where you are
