When she's on her best behaviour Don't be tempted by her favours Never turn your back on Mother Earth Towns are hurled from A to B By arms that looked so smooth to me Never turn your back on Mother Earth Never turn your back on Mother Earth Three days and two nights away from my friends Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends To my friends Never turn your back on Mother Earth Well, I'll admit I was unfaithful But from now I'll be more faithful Never turn your back on Mother Never turn your back on Mother Never turn your back on Mother Earth
