Lyrics for Song: Now I'm Your Mom
Lyrics for Album: Uh-Oh [1992]
He is a boy, you are a girl
And you will always stay that way
But there are people in this world
Who'd like to change what nature made
And if you take that decision
Then they will make that incision down below
The birds and the bees are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee, tweedle dee dee
But I never heard a word they're tellin' me
Oh, little girl, please understand
And listen to the words I say
I was your dad, now I'm your mom
I hope you'll comprehend someday
I didn't mean to confuse you
And now I know that it's hard to understand
The birds and the bees are singin' for me
But I never heard a word they're sayin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee, tweedle dee dee
And freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
And when Columbus sailed upon that mighty sea
Well, we are just like him, yes, we are pioneers
Into the great unknown, the wild uncharted lands
There ain't no turning back, ain't gonna be no chains on me
[Incomprehensible]
Who would ever believe
Caterpillars like me
Turning into a butterfly
Well, I was suddenly free
The birds and the bees are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Tweedle dee dee, tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'
You know I'm man enough
Ain't gonna run and hide
My love is mighty tough
My love is mighty wild
I, I got a pair o' wings
And I'm gonna fly away
Too late to turn back now
Tomorrow came today for me
