Proclaimers - Don't Turn Out Like Your Mother lyrics

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 I pray, "Don't turn out like your mother" 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 I pray, "Don't turn out like your mother" I'm a grown man, over 21, I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun, so if spill a gla** 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 bu*ton 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 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 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 I'm a grown man, over 21, I've got an ugly face But I have a lot of fun, so if spill a gla** 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)
