Violent Femmes – Mother Of A Girl lyrics

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
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
