Mother\'s Finest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is no other to compare with you
You've got me, darlin', givin' all that I have to you
You showed me feelings that I, I'll never find
But those feelings ain't complete
When you're not here all the time

Oh baby love, oh baby love
Early in the mornin', early in the mornin'
You come creepin' in my mind, oh baby love, oh baby love
Oh baby love, oh baby love
I wake up with a yearnin', oh I'm yearnin'
Burnin' for your touch, oh baby love

Give me reasons to be a fool for you
But I don't care about foolish pride when it's concerned in you
I'll be astray, yes I will, give me your command
You can call on me to stay around you all I can

Oh baby love, oh baby love
Early in the mornin', early in the mornin'
You come creepin' in my mind, oh baby love, oh baby love
Oh baby love, oh baby love
I wake up with a yearnin', oo wo wo
Burnin' for your touch, I'm burnin'
Burnin' for your touch, I'm burnin'
Burnin' for your touch, oh baby love

Oh, all I do is think about you, baby love
All I do is think about you, baby love
I want your love, I need your love
I want your love, come on, oh
Oh babe, hey yeah

There is no other to compare with you
You've got me darling, darling, darling, giving all I have to you
Feelings, feelings I'll never find
But those feelings ain't complete when you're not here all the time

Oh baby love, baby love
Early in the mornin', early in the mornin'
You come creepin' in my mind, oh baby love, oh baby love
Oh baby love, oh baby love
I wake up with a yearnin', oh wo wo
Burnin' for your touch, oh baby love, oh wo wo wo

Baby baby baby baby baby
Baby baby baby baby baby
Soon I'll give my sunshine baby love

Burnin' for your touch, burnin' for your touch
Burnin' for your touch, oh baby love
Burnin' for your touch, burnin' for your touch
Burnin' for your touch, oh baby love
I love you, I need you, I love you, baby love
I love you, I need you, oh baby love
I'll walk four million miles on the milky way
Just to get into your arms, baby love
I love you, I need you, oh babe

Oh baby, oh baby, oh
I'll walk four million miles on the milky way
Just to get into your arms, oh




I'm burnin', yeah, I'm burnin', I'm burnin'
I need your love, I want your love, I need

I'm 62 and grew up in Georgia listening to Mother's Finest and I never understood why they didn't get their due recognition. I actually went into a grocery store one night and the cashier said Mother's Finest had just come through and even autographed a paper bag for them...true story. Every song just blows me away. No one like them ever.

@bradwilliams5242

They did get their recognition you just didn’t know it cause you grew up in Georgia snellville ga said it

@timw5306

Went to west Rome high school when they toured, no words would explain how awesome they were 😅

@cometsmommy

I am in Alabama and they used to play at music festivals outside in the middle of the summer in the heat. everyone loved Mother's Finest and they didn't get half of the recognition they deserved. they still perform mostly in Europe. look up the 1976 performance of Fire on Don Kirschner's. their talent is so good it's ridiculous

Southern Fried Black soul rock! Most underrated kick ass band ever! Thank you Mother’s Finest for the greatest memories growing up in the 70’s ! Tina’s got nothing on you girl! I guarantee it!

@HB76558

In Georgia in the 70s they're sound was called southern fried funk. Thanks for recognizing.

@justarepublicandog2505

@@HB76558 no problem! I grew up in the Carolinas and grew up with MF. Saw them in concert in Greenville SC with Nantucket and Molly Hatchet. MF completely stole the show! One of the few bands to sound as good or better live!

@bignoyz4111

Joyce could have fronted a rock band as a matter of fact mother's finest IS a rock band. her voice still remains timeless
