Look mama

I love you

but you gotta let me live my life.

Look mama

I love you

but you gotta let me live my life.



Don't wrap me up in cotton wool



you cannot treat me like a fool.

Anyway if I was

you gotta let me be the one.

O.k.

give me your advice



it's not my fault if I can't be wise



Show me a person who hasn't been done.

Look mama

I love you

but you gotta let me live my life. . . .



Don't try to stick your rules on me



I wasn't born as a carbon copy.

I came out of you

but don't think you own me.

I have my respect for you

I won't try to change

The things you do. Give me a break



Let me learn it my way. You think you know more

Than me

experience hasn't set you free.



Look mama

I love you

look mama look

look mama look.

Look mama

I love you

look mama look

look mama look.



I gotta make my own mistakes



why can't you treat me like a friend?

Look mama

I love you

but you gotta let me live my life. . . .

Look mama

I love you

look mama look



look mama look

look mama look.

Look mama

I love you

look mama look



look mama look

look mama look.
