Don`t Turn Out Like Your Mother — текст песни (The Proclaimers)

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"

(repeat)

Im 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

(repeat)

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

Im 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 (etc)
Don`t end up (etc)
