Vaya Con Dios - Mothers And Daughters Lyrics

She thinks she knows you
She thinks she owns you
She wants everything to be
The way she told you

Of course she loves you
Worries about you
She'll smother you 'till you're chokin'
Tell me, don't you?

Say mama, tell me why
Has pleasure got to rhyme with sacrifice?
You had your ways I have mine
Your little girl's a woman, don't you realize?

Of course she loves you
She adores you
She'll smother you 'till you're chokin'
Tell me, don't you?

She'll try to cage you
She'll enrage you
Walking 'round your life
Deciding for you

Sometimes she'll praise you
Sometimes she'll scorn you
Her dreams from yesterday
Could have destroyed you

Now mama, tell me why
Has pleasure got to rhyme with sacrifice?
You had your days I have mine
Your little girl's a woman now, for quite some time
