I'm Asking Lyrics - For Ladies Only - Steppenwolf

I'm asking all you mothers, 

do your children take jive? 

and God was just piled upon them 

do you think they'll survive? 

you send them to the movies 

what you think that they'll see? 

you know that that won't be love 

that not breathing cheaply 

A vagrant or a murderer 

a rapist or a cheat 

I missed your millions 

and violence in our streets 

I'm asking! 

Yes, I'm Asking! 

But Las Vegas bodies 

are still not for your lives 

i'm asking all you mothers, 

do you tell your children lies? 

how do you think they'll grow up 

if they're weened upon a gun 

or stories of how the stork 

and bout you, your new start 

a tear in the darkness 

as a wellness fills there eyes 

when truth is discovered 

if they leave you - don't 

don't you be surprised 

I'm asking 

Im asking all you mothers 

Im asking 

all you mothers to be 

I'm asking 

for the sake of our children, 

don't take away the right 

the right to be free 

Im asking all you young girls 

have you learned about lost pleasure 

or did your parents bind tomorrow 

restrain you from the treasure 

Tell me, look behind you 

was your mama really there? 

your child looks alot like you 

for her sake I hope you'll be fair 

you want your kids to grow up 

with the things you never had 

then give them all there freedom 

respect there values of good and bad 

I'm asking 

Yes, I'm asking 

I'm asking 

I'm asking 

do you tell your children lies 

I'm asking 

I'm asking 

I'm asking 

I'm asking 

Yes, I'm asking 

I'm asking
