Look Mama
[Intro]
"Honey, I think Audrey's a little mature for you"
"No I don't think she's mature, I think she's nice
Hey mom when are we going?"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Don't wrap me up in cotton wool
You can't treat me like a fool
Anyway if I was, you gotta let me be one

Okay give me your advice
It's not my fault if I can't be wise
Show me a person who hasn't been done

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 that 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You think you know more than me
Experience hasn't set you free, yeah!

[Post-Chorus]
Look mama I love you
Look mama, look, look mama, look
Look mama I love you
Loom mama, look, look mama, look

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I gotta make my own mistakes
Why can't you treat me like a friend

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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

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
(Look mama, 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
(You gotta let me live my life)
