I'm Not Your Mother Lyrics

People think you’re tough But you only pretend to be A real man would live alone And feel no pain, like me
When your baby said she was leaving You slapped yourself in the face You clung to her and cried And cracked all over the place
Because you’re a weakling You’re a suckling lamb You’re not so tough You’re just a man
I was only talking when I said to you Whatever it was I said I didn’t mean anything Just put it out of your head
Now you look to me like I’m ready to give But I only just wanted to play You’re trying to cop a feeling While I’m trying to get away
You’re a big guy but you’re cut down to size When you’re left all by yourself Well I’m not paid to babysit And don’t ask me to help
Let go of me and fall Into the arms of another I’m the wrong girl for you I’m not your mother
I’m an island, I’m a rock My head’s an empty mental block You can’t get lovin’ from a stone I ain’t no goddamn foster home
You’re a weakling You’re a suckling lamb You’re not so tough You’re just a man
You’re a weak thing Just a little lamb You’re not so tough You’re just like a woman
Anything you can do I can do better Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother Anything you can do I can do better Girls will do it all without the aid of a mother Anything you can do I can do, do
I’m not your mother I’m not your mother
