Look Mama (Old Grey Whistle Test 1985) Songtext
von Howard Jones

(Honey, I think Audrey′s a little mature for you)
(No, I don't think she′s mature, I think she's nice)
(Hey mom where are we going?)

Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life

Don't wrap me up in cotton wool
You cannot treat me like a fool
Anyway if I was, you gotta let me be one
Okay give me your advice
It′s not my fault if I can′t be wise
Show me a person who hasn't been done

Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life


Don′t try to stick your rules on me
I wasn't born as a carbon copy
I came out of you but don′t think you own me
I have my respect for you
I won't try to change the things you do
Give me a break let me learn it my way

You think you know more than me
Experience hasn′t set you free, yeah

Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look

I gotta make my own mistakes
Why can't you treat me like a friend?

Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life

Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look

Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look


Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look

Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look

Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look

Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama, look
