I Wish I Was Your Mother

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 realise you're failin' cos 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
Cos 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

Oooooh 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
