Last night I spent a night on the town

- mama don't know it, daddy don't know it -

a cocktail waitress turned me upside down

(then she said I'd be her lover and darling)



2 a.m. I'd board the silver train

- mama don't know it, daddy don't know it -

only to find her with her whips and chains

then she said I'd be her one night stand 'cos



Chorus:

I'm living on my own (he's living on his own)

out a dusk and out at dawn to wake the morning sun

(he's living on his own) I'm living on my own

(he's never going home till the night's gone)



I let the dished pile up in the sink

- mama don't know it, daddy don't know it -

don't need to justify the bathroom stink

(cos' I have broken out of teenage guidance)



no one left to say what I should it

- mama don't know it, daddy don't know it -

don't like vegetables only meat

that's why I feel like a cat in heat, yeah



this is just the way I live my life

I don't need a mother or a wife 'cos



Chorus



some say I'm cruel and at times I'm mean

- mama don't know it, daddy don't know it -

I'd pick up a chick to get the homeground clean

that's just the way that I want to be, yeah



Chorus
