Mama Don't Preach
I need to feel like a man Not for you to be my mom I’m perfectly capable of living alone But a better life with you along But now I feel less like a man And you a lot like my mom Yes true that I do love my mother But loving you like that is weird altogether Maybe I come back when I’m more of a man Maybe I come back when you’re less a mother When you no more dictate today’s underpants When you don’t ask did I take too short a shower Baby, the rule is simple I’m more of a man if you don’t mother me You’re more my woman if you smother me. With love I mean not endless nagging With matrimonial love not maternal ranting. Baby, I can be your baby Please, just not too literally.
