rate me

You’re a grown woman<br>Good at what you do<br>I’m happy as hell<br>When I’m alone whit you<br>As you stroke my body<br>And soothe my brow<br>With everything<br>That the law will allow<br>I pray don’t turn out like your mother<br><br>(repeat)<br><br>Im a grown man<br>Over 21<br>I’ve got an ugly face<br>But I have a lot of fun<br>So if spill a glass<br>Or break a dish<br>I hear your voice<br>And I make this wish<br>Please don’t turn out like your mother<br><br>Don’t turn out<br>Don’t turn out<br>Don’t turn out like your mother<br>I couldn’t stand it<br>And I’ll be damned if<br>I’m gonna live with another<br><br>So many woman<br>Give you so much<br>Civilized ways<br>And a gentle touch<br>A different perspective<br>That’s as bright as a button<br>But then you wake up one morning<br>And it all counts for nothing<br>Cos she’s turned into her mother<br><br>Don’t turn out<br>Don’t turn out<br>Don’t turn out like your mother<br>I couldn’t stand it<br>And I’ll be damned if<br>I’m gonna live with another<br><br>It’s not the way she looks<br>It’s not the food she cooks<br>Her kind of indignation<br>Don’t cause me trepidation<br>But to live with a woman like this<br>Would take a masochist<br>Or someone who could get and could stay permanently pissed<br><br>(repeat)<br><br>You’re a grown woman<br>Good at what you do<br>I’m happy as hell<br>When I’m alone with you<br>As you stroke my body<br>And soothe my brow<br>With everything<br>That the law will allow<br><br>Im a grown man<br>Over 21<br>I’ve got an ugly face<br>But I have a lot of fun<br>So if spill a glass<br>Or break a dish<br>Don’t get on to me<br>Like some haranguing witch<br><br>Don’t turn out like your mother<br>Don’t turn out<br>Don’t turn out<br>Don’t turn out like your mother<br>I couldn’t stand it<br>And I’ll be damned if<br>I’m gonna live with another<br><br>It’s not her looks<br>Or the way she cooks<br>That wakes me up in a cold sweat<br>It’s just the knowledge<br>That if it happened<br>I couldn’t drink enough to forget<br><br>Don’t turn out (etc)<br>Don’t end up (etc)
