How many Motown songs had lyrics about "Mom" or "Grandma" [[or variation)?
"Honey Chile":
You're shiftless and you're lazy
Just like that hound dog, Daisy
I had when grandma raised me
Honey Chile, when Granny
"Love Child":
I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
"I'm Living in Shame":
Mom was cooking bread
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low
Rolled to her feet, she just didn't know
and of course:
"Does Your Mama Know About Me?":
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as a man
