Call You Mom

They Might Be Giants · Nanobots [2013]

I think I'd like to call you Mom

'Cause you remind me of my mom

I'm gonna go put on my sailor suit

And we'll go out on the town



Why don't you let me call you that?

You're acting so much like my mom

She didn't like it when I called her name

You and her are the same



When we go out

You'll know someone is there

You will feel someone staring at you

You're on my mind

As I dream of the game

Where I'm rolling a hoop



And I turn around to find that you are gone

Which was exactly like my mom

And I will go hang up my sailor suit

And lie face-down on the lawn



When we go out

You'll know someone is there

You will feel someone staring at you

You're on my mind

As I dream of the game

Where I'm rolling a hoop



And I turn around to find that you are gone

Which was exactly like my mom

And I will go hang up my sailor suit

And lie face-down on the lawn



I see you moving towards the door

'Cause you don't trust me anymore

I need to find someone who's nice to me

The way that you used to be



And then I'm gonna call her You

'Cause she'll remind me of you

I'm gonna dress her in a sailor suit

That would look very cute



When we go out

She'll know someone is there

She will feel someone staring at her

She's on my mind

As I dream of the game

Where she's rolling a hoop



And she turns around to find that I am gone

Which was exactly like her mom

And she will go hang up her sailor suit

And lie face-down on the lawn
