Pretenders, The - I'm A Mother Lyrics

Flo and the machine should try this song

Great vocals

The unmistakable voice of Chrissy Hine.

After black mirror i discovery this nice song, yeah!

I admit Black Mirror brought me here too, but that is an incredible lyric, 1994. That's beyond empowerment. That's I'm a bad-ass bitch and all men are grown infants. Saying that as a man!

What a Beautiful voice

Black Mirror too.

I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother
You want to suck on my breast
It's no surprise you do
I'm the source and the force
You owe your life to, brother
Oh
Oh
Oh
I'm a mother
And I take like a mother
I understand blood
And I understand pain
There can be no life without it
Never doubt it
I'm a mother
I gave you all my money
To help the family
But what you do to me
Don't humiliate me
Remember
I'm a life-long member
Oh
Oh
Oh
I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother
In the middle of the night
I be deep in a dream
You fancy little company
You only have to scream
Loud, brother
Oh
Oh
Oh
I'm a mother
And I fake like a mother
I understand time
And it isn't on my side
But to service mankind
I have to suffer his pride
Like a mother
Oh
Oh
Oh
You say your protection
Is proof of your affection
If I need security
I'll keep a gun on me
Oh
Don't barter with me
Don't barter with me
Little sacrifices
Go straight to heaven
But hunting season's over
This is the 20th century
Oh
Don't barter with me
Oh
Oh
Oh
I'm a mother
And I ache like a mother
If there's a terrible crash
And bodies thrown everywhere
I'll wrap 'em up and carry 'em
If someone has to bury them
Brother
Oh
Oh
Oh
Call upon mother
I'm the vessel of life
I got the trauma here to prove it
When it's time for me to labor for you
Everybody move it
Like a mother
Oh
Oh
Oh

I'm 60. I remember when this song came out. What Chrissie is saying is that women--particularly women who are mothers--will not put up with your crap. Mothers protect. Mother's nurture. Mother's mother others who sometimes need mothering but can't see it. I don't know what Black Mirror is or means. I know that I am a mother who was so grateful to hear Chrissie stand up for all mothers, whether they be biological mothers or mothers by symbiosis or mothers to others because of their compassion.

Black Mirror is a Netflix series. This song was in the episode that was telling a story about a mother who lost her child for a moment and panicked - then she decided to sign up for Arkangel program which was monitoring what the child is seeing where they are and filtering violence or stuff like that. Of course it didn't turn out good.

Arkangel

IM A FATHER!

Krissy was the artist that embodied my mother .. and boy a 6 foot Italian from Boston.. you treated her like a mother !

Black mirror arkangel

Sorry. Only bad ending in the whole serie. Cool songs tho as like always

Drums and guitar

Treat me like a mother

Oh
Oh
Oh

And I understand pain
There can be no life without it
Never doubt it

But what you do to me
Don't humiliate me

Every now and then growing up, when he was in playful mood and going through his music, my Dad would BLARE this song at full volume and dramatically sing the first line: I'M A MOTHER!!! TREAT ME LIKE A MOTHER! My mom would always giggle. By the time this song came out, he'd watched her give birth to five children already--so he knows how badass moms are :)

simply awesome !!!

Arkangel!!

Jodie Foster, you gorgeous goddess, you.

I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother
You want to suck on my breast
I'm so surprised you do
I'm the source and the force to your life too, brother
Oh oh oh oh I'm a mother
And I take like a mother
I understand blood and I understand pain
There can be no life without it never doubt it
I'm a mother
I gave you all my money
To help the family
But what you do to me don't humiliate me
Remember, I'm a lifelong member
Oh oh oh oh I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother
In the middle of the night I be deep in a dream
You fancy your company you only have to scream loud, brother
Oh oh oh I'm a mother
And I fake like a mother
I understand time and it isn't on my side but to service mankind I
Have to suffer his pride
Like a mother
You say your protection is proof of your affection
If I need security, I'll keep a gun on me
Don't barter with me, don't barter with me
Little sacrifices, go straight to heaven
But hunting season's over
This is the 20th century
Oh don't barter with me
Oh oh oh I'm a mother
And I ache like a mother
If there is a terrible crash and bodies strewn everywhere
I'll wrap them up and carry them, if someone has to bury them
Brother
Oh oh
I'm the vessel of life I got the trauma here to prove it
When it's time for me to labor for you everybody move it
Like a mother

*black mirror* brought me here. And I am not the only one I see.
It's on repeat sinds I put it on.

Yes, we're all here because of Black Mirror. Jodie Foster is an incredible Netflix director.
But I already heard The Pretenders since before.

Ark angel 👼 lmao

I'm a mother with a face turned shit

Black mirror

I am not here because of Black Mirror, I bought this album when it debuted back in the day. I have been a long time fan of the Pretenders. Chrissy Hines is my girl!

Happy Mother's Day!

Black Mirror brought me here too lol

kocham. kocham. kocham.

Black Mirror? Anyone?

people wait for TV indoctrination shows to get them to REALIZE and read LYRICS in these songs that are sung by puppets... stay circumspect and Vigilant... FaCTz.... AIR *FREEquencies* better know them before they Tell you when

RICK ROLLED{FaCTz} she made this song after she had her child; douche

RICK ROLLED{FaCTz} Chrissie Hynde has *never* been an industry puppet. This was written over twenty years ago after becoming a mother.

So edgy lol

quando vejo uma serie eu começo a gosta da musica estranho isso?

Black Mirror brought me here ....

This song is badass!

*Runs away and hitch hikes*

I think it's cool that Black Mirror reintroduced this amazing song and artist. I, on the other hand, have been a fan of The Pretenders since the early 80s and when this song came out, the next day, I ran and bought the CD.

Black Mirror :)

Arkangel

4 people have mommy issues.

black mirror , great

Anyone else here because of Black Mirror? Yea well, nobody gives a fuck.

It's a re-visit for me, but Black Mirror, yup.

I started reading some of the comments and I just about freaked out.....Yes Black Mirror !!

Thank you, women, for the life you give us all.

YEAH BITCH, BLACK MIRROR

rafalillo_8 You whomever you are this came out in 1992 way before Jodie Foster put it in the credits. The Pretenders are legend more than a pseudo psycho Netflix wanna be episode.

DON'T CRY

arkangel

Wonderful episode.

I've been a Pretenders fan for a long time. And I knew, immediately when the Black Mirror's credits played that it was Chrissy's voice.
