Yeah, that's right More mothering Everybody out there’s walking around acting big Looking for appreciation and hoping nobody'll see inside
Well, don't let'em fool you Doesn't make any difference if they’re big or small Important or nobody They’re just pretending over hurt selves Because once they grow up no one tells 'em they’re special any more You know, special in a mothering way Deep inside they feel empty They try to fill up that chlld place by acting confident and smart Hoping nobody will know they’re not sure all the time
We’re supposed to grow up and act like adults Strong and all Impressing everybody with how important we are But that little child inside just keeps looking for someone to notice To say nice things about 'em Let 'em know they’re all right That what they do counts You know, interested and gentle like
Well now If you don't have any money or some big time job You still have something to give That makes you very important
All those people out there are just looking for a smile And someone to listen to ‘em You can do that You got plenty of that And it's free, so you can give away all you want No need to go moving in with ‘em now Just be nice No “Look at me in your face" attitude Slap that pearly white shine you got right on 'em Smile and listen to what they have to say
Take your time now It's a gift Remember that You gotta' give it away without thinking twice And don't go standing around waiting to get it back Then you’ll just be lonely too
