Call Your Mother Songtext
von Yes Darling

Call your mother, she is getting worried
She has not heard from you
Tell her you love her
Just don′t tell her everything you do

Don't tell her ′bout how scared you were
When you were driving home through the snow
Don't tell her 'bout the older man you′re getting to know
Don′t tell her 'bout all the drinks you had
And all the exercise you′re not getting
And maybe leave out the part about the birth control
You keep forgetting

Don't tell her ′bout the things you said
To cool Susset, to get her in your bed
Don't tell her ′bout the drugs that you tried to steal
Tell her 'bout the way they made you feel

Call your mother, she is getting worried
She has not heard from you
Tell her you love her
Just don't tell her everything you do


Don′t tell her ′bout how much it burns you
Sometimes when you pee
Don't tell her ′bout your nitrous epiphany
Don't tell her ′bout the morning after
The wake and bake laughter
Your pennies in the rafter
Drinking in the mid-day, everyday is my birthday
Now we're stumbling down the hallway
Humping in the driveway

Don′t tell her 'bout the things you said
To cool Susset to get her in your bed
Don't tell her ′bout the threesome that you had in the field
But tell her ′bout the way it made you feel

Call you mother she is getting worried
She has not heard from you
Tell her you love her
Just don't tell her everything you do

Tell her you love her
Just don′t tell her everything you do
Call your father too
Tell me what to do
