She's Got A Mother

[Jim Colyer]

You say you found that one girl
And her love will last your whole life
You live together now but you'll get married
You're gonna make that girl your wife

But She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too

You took their little girl away
It doesn't matter that she's twenty-five
It doesn't matter if she's a grown-up woman
You'll never break those family ties

She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too

Bridge:
Just wait until the baby comes
Those grandparents will descend
Like Harpies from hell

Solo

You're headed for some trouble
You're still basking in the heat of love
But love and sex have a way of fading
She'll be drifting back to her parents

She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too

Her parents are planning your future
So far they've been biding their time
Speaking in whispers behind your back
Looking forward to a late night ride

She's Got A Mother
And that mother doesn't like you
She's got a daddy
And he hates you too
