Mother says be careful |
|
And don't stay out too long |
|
Don't do things you shouldn't |
|
Miss me when I'm gone |
|
Daddy says not now, son |
|
Well, just do the best you can |
|
And you'll make out somehow, son |
|
Be just like I am, just like I am |
|
You won't need a reason |
|
She don't let you choose |
|
And so to make the game easy |
|
Mother makes the rules |
|
We all know how the rules are |
|
Changin' from day to day |
|
That's the breaks, and I'm sorry |
|
Some of us must be going |
|
Some of us have to stay |
|
Some of us may be showing |
|
Some just fade away |
|
It's sad to say it's the ending |
|
All the feelin's gone |
|
If you don't mind pretending |
|
You can come along |
|
And mother says she's ready |
|
And if you have the time |
|
She'll help us all to get steady |
|
Make us all feel better, make us all feel fine |
|
Make us all feel better, make us all feel fine |
