Mott The Hoople - I Wish I Was Your Mother Lyrics
(ian hunter)I scream at you for sharingn I curse you just for caringI hate the clothes youre wearing, theyre so prettyn I tell to not to see men I tell you not to feel men I make your life a drag, its such a pityn I watch your warm glow palinn I watch your sparkle fadinAs you realise youre failin, cos youre so goodNow I dont mean to upset youBut theres so much crime to get throughIf only I could make it easier, then I wouldOh I wish I was your motherI wish Id been your fathern then I would have seen youWould have been you as a childPlayed houses with your sistersAnd wrestled with all your brothersAnd then who knowsI might have felt a family for a whileIts no use me pretendinYou give and I do the spendinIs there a happy ending, I dont think soCos even if we make itIll be too far out to take itYoull have to try and shake it from my headOooooh I wish I was your motherI wish Id been your fathern then I would have seen youWould have been you as a childPlayed houses with your sistersAnd wrestled with all your brothersAnd then who knowsI might have felt a family for a while
