I Wish I Was Your Mother Lyrics - Mott The Hoople

I scream at you for sharing 

'N I curse you just for caring 

I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty 

'N I tell to not to see me 

'N I tell you not to feel me 

'N I make your life a drag, it's such a pity 

'N I watch your warm glow palin' 

'N I watch your sparkle fadin' 

As you realize you're failin', cause you're so good 

Now I don't mean to upset you 

But there's so much crime to get through 

If only I could make it easier, then I would 

Oh I wish I was your mother 

I wish I'd been your father 

'N then I would have seen you 

Would have been you as a child 

Played houses with your sisters 

And wrestled with all your brothers 

And then who knows 

I might have felt a family for a while 

It's no use me pretendin' 

You give and I do the spendin' 

Is there a happy ending, I don't think so 

Cause even if we make it 

I'll be too far out to take it 

You'll have to try and shake it from my head
