Violent Femmes

Mother of a Girl

You look like you could be the mother of a girl

A girl I hated more than any other girl in the world

The way I let her treat me was totally a disgrace

I wanted to permanently wipe that smile off her face

No, I'm not joking, yes, I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a girl

A girl I loved more than any other girl in the world

The way that I treated her was totally a crime

I wanted to permanently wipe the joy out of my mind

No, I'm not joking, yes, I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a boy

A boy who bored me more than any other man in the land

The way that he dogged me like I was totally a jerk

I wanted to permanently pound his prick into the dirt

No, I'm not joking, yes, I was choking

You look like you could be

You look like you could be

Mother of a girl, mother of a girl

Mother of a girl, mother of a girl

You look like you could be

You look like you could be
