She wrote me a letter   In the early days of December   Saying she wasn' t happy   Where she was   Oh that' s the bad news yeah   That is why today I' m here   To take her away from you   Everytime you treat her badly   It brings back memories and   We don' t want   To see her go through   Hurt again so!!!         Chorus:   Keep on knocking but you   Can' t come in now         She' s my mother you know   If she was a bad mother   She would have thrown us away   Long time ago   Even when things got bad   She still held onto us all the way   When she cries we cry too   When she smiles we smile too   We were happy all this time   Until you came along   Everytime you treat her badly   It brings back memories and   We don' t want to see her   Go through hurt again         Chorus till fade
