I Wish I Was Your Mother |
| I scream at you for sharing |
| 'n I curse you just for caring |
| I hate the clothes you’re wearing, they’re so pretty |
| 'n I tell to not to see me |
| 'n I tell you not to feel me |
| 'n I make your life a drag, it’s such a pity |
| 'n I watch your warm glow palin' |
| 'n I watch your sparkle fadin' |
| As you realise you’re failin', cos you’re so good |
| Now I don’t mean to upset you |
| But there’s so much crime to get through |
| If only I could make it easier, then I would |
| Oh I wish I was your mother |
| I wish I’d been your father |
| 'n then I would have seen you |
| Would have been you as a child |
| Played houses with your sisters |
| And wrestled with all your brothers |
| And then who knows |
| I might have felt a family for a while |
| It’s no use me pretendin' |
| You give and I do the spendin' |
| Is there a happy ending, I don’t think so Cos even if we make it |
| I’ll be too far out to take it You’ll have to try and shake it from my head |
| Oooooh I wish I was your mother |
| I wish I’d been your father |
| 'n then I would have seen you |
| Would have been you as a child |
| Played houses with your sisters |
| And wrestled with all your brothers |
| And then who knows |
| I might have felt a family for a while |
