The Proclaimers - Don't Turn Out Like Your Mother lyrics
Your rating:
Good at what you do I'm as happy as hell When I'm alone with you As you stroke my body And soothe my brow With everything That the law will allow I pray, "Don't turn out like your mother." You're a grown woman Good at what you do I'm as happy as hell When I'm alone with you As you stroke my body And soothe my brow With everything That the law will allow I pray, "Don't turn out like your mother." I'm a grown man Over 21 I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun So if I spill a glass Or break a dish I hear your voice And I make this wish Please, don't turn out like your mother CHORUS Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damned if I'm gonna live with another So many women Give you so much Civilized ways And a gentle touch A different perspective That's as bright as a button But then you wake up one morning And it all counts for nothing 'Cause she's turned into her mother CHORUS It's not the way she looks It's not the food she cooks Her kind of indignation Don't cause me trepidation But to live with a woman like this Would take a masochist Or someone who could get and could stay permanently pissed It's not the way she looks It's not the food that she cooks Her kind of indignation Don't cause me trepidation But to live with a woman like this Would take a masochist Or someone who could get and could stay permanently pissed You're a grown woman Good at what you do I'm happy as hell When I'm alone with you As you stroke my body And sooth my brow With everything That the law will allow And I'm a grown man Over 21 I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun So if I spill a glass Or break a dish Don't get on to me Like some haranguing witch Don't turn out like your mother Don't turn out Don't turn out Don't turn out like your mother I couldn't stand it And I'll be damend if I'm gonna live with another It's not her looks Or the way she cooks That wakes me up in a cold sweat It's just the knowledge That if it happened I couldn't drink enough to forget Don't turn out Don't end up And I won't turn out like my dad! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Eric Wincentsen 267@ef.gc.maricopa.edu Glendale Community College Glendale, Arizona "We want the airwaves
