I remember
the first time
that you told me that we must make love
wasn't your boyfriend in the next room?
here he comes, better give him a hug, oh no
you're not too shy but that's okay
when it comes to love you know I like it that way
a little forward 'cuz I'm always behind
but what's all that goin' on in your mind
I don't know

what would your mother think?

long ago
you were good
take out the garbage girl
do as you should
and eat your dinner girl don't play with your food
and don't get caught in small rooms where you shouldn't be

what would your mother think?

sometimes
I think back
and remember when I've had doubts
but now I know
we can be sure
we are the people our parents warned us about
oh no
I use too many drugs
oh no
I sleep in a bed of bugs
oh no
and all my friends are junkies and thugs
oh no
somebody said it before "all we need is love"

what would your mother think?
