Smokey Robinson & The Miracles — Your Mothers Only Daughter

[Verse 1] I've been throwing coins in every fountain Wishing on every star that shines at night It could be I've been counting too much on stars and fountains That only twinkle and sprinkle me with water [Chorus] But it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter Said it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter [Verse 2] I spent my last ten dollars on some perfume And I thought it said the things I couldn't say The storeman guaranteed that this was what I need But it turns out that it wasn't worth a quarter [Chorus] 'Cause it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter Said it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter [Bridge] The only girl your mama's got And anyone can see that she loves you a lot But so do I and I'm a man And you're the only girl that fits into my plan Of a love life made for two If a man was good for mama, a man is good for you A man is good for you, a man is good for you Ooh [Verse 3] So many things I've tried to get you by my side But nothing seems to work like honor [Chorus] 'Cause it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter Said it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter Ooh, it didn't help me get your mother's only, ooh Said it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter Hey, it didn't help me get your mother's only daughter, ooh-ooh It didn't help me get your mother's only daughter
