Lyrics: Violent Femmes. 3. Mother Of A Girl.

You look like you could be the mother of a girl
A girl I hated more than any other girl in the world
The way I let her treat me was totally a disgrace
I wanted to permanently wipe that smile off her face

No, I'm not joking, yes, I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a girl
A girl I loved more than any other girl in the world
The way that I treated her was totally a crime
I wanted to permanently wipe the joy out of my mind

No, I'm not joking, yes, I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a boy
A boy who bored me more than any other man in the land
The way that he dogged me like I was totally a jerk
I wanted to permanently pound his prick into the dirt

No, I'm not joking, yes, I was choking

You look like you could be
You look like you could be
Mother of a girl, mother of a girl
Mother of a girl, mother of a girl

You look like you could be
You look like you could be
