Lyrics

Tell Your Mother
I guarantee you?ll feel a whole lot better
If you put it all down into a first-class letter
Make sure you?ve got the nine-digit zip code
Then throw it right out of your bedroom window
A little layer of wake up makeup
She?s playing games with the ladies in waiting
Dressing in styles to fit their conversations
So many skinny girls in a rock n roll nation
I?m gonna tell your mother
I think I found her long lost baby tonight
Pretty soon someone?ll turn up and spot you
Take you home when they see right through your disguise
Look at you with your cigarette poses
You suck it all down, taking lethal doses
Working on your frozen moments
As a child you screamed for your ice cream cones and
You probably have a big brother
He liked to tease you when your friends came over
Scaring the boy you?d taken to your prom
You swore you would kill him when you got home
I?m gonna tell your father
I think I found his long gone baby tonight
Pretty soon someone?ll sneak up behind you
Take you home when they see right through your disguise
Don?t even bother asking
You?re all alone and I?m scared of what you?re gonna find
A little layer of wake up makeup
You?re playing games with the ladies in waiting
Making the room feel a few degrees colder
It?s the price you got to pay when you?re trying to get over
I?m gonna tell your mother
I think I found her long lost baby tonight
Pretty soon someone?ll slip up and kiss you
Take you home when they see right through your disguise
I?m gonna tell your father
I think I found his long gone baby tonight
Pretty soon someone?ll show up and hold you
Take you home when they see right through your disguise
I?ll tell your big brother
He?ll take you home and give you a piece of his mind
I?m taking you over and over
I?ll take you on so I can take you right off my mind
