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.
