Look mama
I love you
but you gotta let me live my life.
Look mama
I love you

but you gotta let me live my life.

Don't wrap me up in cotton wool

you cannot treat me like a fool.
Anyway if I was
you gotta let me be the one.
O.k.
give me your advice

it's not my fault if I can't be wise

Show me a person who hasn't been done.
Look mama
I love you
but you gotta let me live my life. . . .

Don't try to stick your rules on me

I wasn't born as a carbon copy.
I came out of you
but don't think you own me.
I have my respect for you
I won't try to change
The things you do. Give me a break

Let me learn it my way. You think you know more
Than me
experience hasn't set you free.

Look mama
I love you
look mama look
look mama look.
Look mama
I love you
look mama look
look mama look.

I gotta make my own mistakes

why can't you treat me like a friend?
Look mama
I love you
but you gotta let me live my life. . . .
Look mama
I love you
look mama look

look mama look
look mama look.
Look mama
I love you
look mama look

look mama look
look mama look.
