Because I Said So movie - Yes, My Darling Daughter lyrics

rate me

Song by Sandie Shaw<br /><br>

I’ve gotta be good or mama will scold me<br>

Yes, yes, yes<br>

I asked her and this is what she told me<br>

Yes, yes, yes<br>

<br>

Mother, may I go out dancing? Yes, my darling daughter<br>

Mother, may I try romancing? Yes, my darling daughter<br>

What if there’s a moon, mama darling, and it’s shining on the water<br>

Mother, must I keep on dancing? Yes, my darling daughter<br>

What if he’ll propose, mama darling, when the night is growing shorter?<br>

Mother, what should be my answer? Yes, my darling daughter<br>

<br>

Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama<br>

<br>

What if he should insist on one embrace, mama,<br>

How can I keep him in his place<br>

If his manner becomes a shade improper?<br>

Tell him that your heart belongs to papa<br>

<br>

Mother, will it be exciting? Yes, my darling daughter<br>

Mother, do I look inviting? Yes, my darling daughter<br>

If he holds me tight, mama darling, and my knees just turn to water<br>

Mama must I keep on dancing? Yes, my darling daughter<br>

What if he’ll persist, mama darling, doing things he hadn’t oughta<br>

Mama, what should be my answer? Yes, my darling daughter<br>
