[Chorus] Mother told me "Don't play with the boys They're gonna ruin your life" "But Mother They're bringing me toys Been bringing me toys all night" [Verse] The truth appears without warning In the pale blue light of the morning I haven't been sleeping too well These charts are so impossible to climb I'm back at it again with the fever Bit between my teeth Ooh I bring her Boys will be boys That's why they're in my employ Yeah And I want to [Chorus] Mother told me "Don't play with the boys They're gonna ruin your life" (Mother told me don't, mother told me don't) "But Mother They're bringing me toys Been bringing me toys all night" Mother told me "Don't play with the boys" Mother tells me "You've been awake all night" "But Mother All night Mother All night Mother They're bringing me the old delight" But she tells me Oh [Bridge] "That's not gonna fly around here It's not gonna work out around here That's not gonna fly Dear" I said "That works just fine for me"
