make your mother mad

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

you're so young and beautiful

you look and smell so nice

if you asked me to be with you

no way i'd think twice

some girls do the older guys

and a daughter wants a date

go ahead and love me

make your mother mad

we got to make your mother mad

every year's a chapter

every day's a page

you look just like your mother did when she was your age

you see her now and you see yourself

here they come

oh it's kinda sad

go ahead and love me

make your mother mad

we got to make your mother mad

remember that old commercial

with a daughter and a mom?

whose soft hands were identical

finger

nail

and palm?

they were just selling soap

a silly tv ad

and when the father left the mother

you know the poor woman went mad

one day you might marry

you may have a child

a boy who is mischievous

a girl so sweet and mild

if your husband leaves you that will feel really bad

but watch out for that little girl she might make you mad

she might make you mad

my father left my mother for someone long ago

oh

some-one day i'm gonna kill my mom

or maybe

i don't know

it's crazy that you want me

it's amazing i'm so great

guess i'm just a faithless son i got to make your mother mad

i know i'm so mischievous i got to make your mother mad

i'm guess i'm just my father's son i got to make your mother mad
