You're a grown woman

Good at what you do

I'm happy as hell

When I'm alone whit you

As you stroke my body

And soothe my brow

With everything

That the law will allow

I pray "Don't turn out like your mother"

I'm a grown man

Over 21

I've got an ugly face

But I have a lot of fun

So if spill a glass

Or break a dish

I hear your voice

And I make this wish

Please "Don't turn out like your mother"

Don't turn out

Don't turn out

Don't turn out like your mother

I couldn't stand it

And I'll be damned if

I'm gonna live with another

So many woman

Give you so much

Civilized ways

And a gentle touch

A different perspective

That's as bright as a button

But then you wake up one morning

And it all counts for nothing

Cos she's turned into her mother

Don't turn out

Don't turn out

Don't turn out like your mother

I couldn't stand it

And I'll be damned if

I'm gonna live with another

It's not the way she looks

It's not the food she cooks

Her kind of indignation

Don't cause me trepidation

But to live with a woman like this

Would take a masochist

Or someone who could get and could stay permanently pissed

You're a grown woman

Good at what you do

I'm happy as hell

When I'm alone with you

As you stroke my body

And soothe my brow

With everything

That the law will allow

I'm a grown man

Over 21

I've got an ugly face

But I have a lot of fun

So if spill a glass

Or break a dish

Don't get on to me

Like some haranguing witch

Don't turn out like your mother

Don't turn out

Don't turn out

Don't turn out like your mother

I couldn't stand it

And I'll be damned if

I'm gonna live with another

It's not her looks

Or the way she cooks

That wakes me up in a cold sweat

It's just the knowledge

That if it happened

I couldn't drink enough to forget

Don't turn out

Don't end up
