Artist/Band: Mott the Hoople
Lyrics for Song: I Wish I Was Your Mother
Lyrics for Album: Live At Hammersmith Apollo 09 [2010]



I scream at you for sharing

'N I curse you just for caring

I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty

'N I tell to not to see me

'N I tell you not to feel me

'N I make your life a drag, it's such a pity



'N I watch your warm glow palin'

'N I watch your sparkle fadin'

As you realize you're failin', cause you're so good

Now I don't mean to upset you

But there's so much crime to get through

If only I could make it easier, then I would



Oh I wish I was your mother

I wish I'd been your father

'N then I would have seen you

Would have been you as a child

Played houses with your sisters

And wrestled with all your brothers

And then who knows

I might have felt a family for a while



It's no use me pretendin'

You give and I do the spendin'

Is there a happy ending, I don't think so

Cause even if we make it

I'll be too far out to take it

You'll have to try and shake it from my head



Oooooh I wish I was your mother

I wish I'd been your father

'N then I would have seen you

Would have been you as a child

Played houses with your sisters

And wrestled with all your brothers

And then who knows

I might have felt a family for a while
