You say you found that one girl
And her love will last your whole life
You live together now but you'll get married
You're gonna make that girl your wife
But She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too
You took their little girl away
It doesn't matter that she's twenty-five
It doesn't matter if she's a grown-up woman
You'll never break those family ties
She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too
Bridge:
Just wait until the baby comes
Those grandparents will descend
Like Harpies from hell
Solo
You're headed for some trouble
You're still basking in the heat of love
But love and sex have a way of fading
She'll be drifting back to her parents
She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too
Her parents are planning your future
So far they've been biding their time
Speaking in whispers behind your back
Looking forward to a late night ride
She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too
