Mother Maria

Album: Slash (2010)
Songwriters: Slash, Beth Hart

For everyone I love and everyone I've known
For all the trash I've won I celebrate alone
Sit up straight, stupid, bite your tongue
The best I am is said and done
Screams and whispers tell her I no longer hear her

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Give her my apologies
And tell her not to cry
Mother Maria

I holler like a king trying to keep his throne
But chewing on a stone is the only thing I own
Drugs and lovers
Nothing left under covers

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Give her my apologies
And tell her not to cry
Mother Maria

Anything you want
Anything you need
I give it all I've got
Your attention please
You never wanted me
You never wanted me

Sleep with me
Just for the bitter part about me

Living's hardly
Living's hardly
Tell her I no longer want her

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Mother Mary, she don't talk to me
Give her my apologies
And tell her not to cry
Mother Maria

I still don't hear her voice
I still don't hear her voice
I don't deserve her

So tell her not to cry
Tell her not to cry
Tell her not to cry

Mother Maria
