Mott the Hoople - Momma's Little Jewel lyrics

rate me

(Ian Hunter/Overend Watts)

Momma's little jewel just out of school fresh from the nuns that made you

Don't know why but I'm going to try to re-in-celibate you

Momma's little jewel you got the rules but I'll be the one to educate you

Take what's mine take a little time and don't bite the hand that makes you

True when I hold you near well I'm

Caught even when I'm on the road well I'm

Wearing my scorpio faces when I

Come in the midnight sun

What you want I can't buy so why don't you try it my way

What you look for ain't in the book but I'm going to show you someday

Laugh in the evening when I

Catch you with my [w...?] when I

Wearing my scorpio faces when I

Come in the midnight sun

You won't rise you won't shine you won't even try boys

You've got brains if you love changes you'll have to play with my toys

Momma's little jewel such a little fool thinks she can learn all the answers

She don't want to feel she just want to steal don't want to take any chances

True when I hold you near well I'm

Caught even when I'm on the road when I'm

Wearing my scorpio faces when I

Come in the midnight sun when I

Laugh in the evening when I

Catch you with my watering gun when I

Wearing my scorpio faces when I

Come in the midnight sun when I

Come in the midnight sun when I

Come in the midnight sun when I

Come in the midnight sun when I

Come in the midnight sun when I
