Youre a grown woman
Good at what you do
Im happy as hell
When Im alone whit you
As you stroke my body
And soothe my brow
With everything
That the law will allow
I pray dont turn out like your mother

(repeat)

Im a grown man
Over 21
Ive got an ugly face
But I have a lot of fun
So if spill a glass
Or break a dish
I hear your voice
And I make this wish
Please dont turn out like your mother

Dont turn out
Dont turn out
Dont turn out like your mother
I couldnt stand it
And Ill be damned if
Im gonna live with another

So many woman
Give you so much
Civilized ways
And a gentle touch
A different perspective
Thats as bright as a button
But then you wake up one morning
And it all counts for nothing
Cos shes turned into her mother

Dont turn out
Dont turn out
Dont turn out like your mother
I couldnt stand it
And Ill be damned if
Im gonna live with another

Its not the way she looks
Its not the food she cooks
Her kind of indignation
Dont 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

(repeat)

Youre a grown woman
Good at what you do
Im happy as hell
When Im alone with you
As you stroke my body
And soothe my brow
With everything
That the law will allow

Im a grown man
Over 21
Ive got an ugly face
But I have a lot of fun
So if spill a glass
Or break a dish
Dont get on to me
Like some haranguing witch

Dont turn out like your mother
Dont turn out
Dont turn out
Dont turn out like your mother
I couldnt stand it
And Ill be damned if
Im gonna live with another

Its not her looks
Or the way she cooks
That wakes me up in a cold sweat
Its just the knowledge
That if it happened
I couldnt drink enough to forget

Dont turn out (etc)
Dont end up (etc)
