Palmer, Robert - Your Mother Should Have Told You Lyrics






Your looks are sensational
Where do I begin?
You're so unbelievable
It must be a sin
I try to keep pace with you
But I never win
You're on the attack again
I'll have to give in

You look fully grown
I thought you'd have known
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

Her manners are counterfeit
But she knows how to act
And when you get used to it
It's better than fact
You never can tell the real from pretend
You liked the beginning
Well, wait'til the end

You look fully formed
You should have been warned
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

[Guitar solo]

You look fully grown
I thought you'd have known
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

Your looks are sensational
Where do I begin?
You're so unbelievable
It must be a sin
I thought you'd have known
You look fully grown
...... attend to your own
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have told you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have told you
Boys turn into men

Palmer, Robert Your Mother Should Have Told You Comments
  1. P.... Z....

    Amazing rock tune

  2. J.... J....

    Some musicians are great songwriters, some musicians are great songwriters. Robert Palmer, however, is a fantastic interpreter of music.

  3. T.... D....

    Happy Birthday Mr. Palmer . Should have been 70 today here in 2019

  4. P.... ....

    For those of you who are fans of both Robert Palmer and Coheed and Cambria, there are some songs by Coheed and Cambria including, Ten Speed of God's Blood and Burial, sound a bit Robert Palmer-like because of the rhythm sounding a bit alike.

  5. C.... A....

    I liked this song from the moment I first heard it when I bought the album. My only complaint is that the line, "Your mother should've told you, you fall in love and then," sounds like, "Your mother should've told you, Your father loved men."

  6. D.... B....

    good rock song!!!

  7. S.... ....

    Flip side of the 'Cassingle' in 1990 was 'So Emboldened'. Really a great song, to be found here on YouTube. Recommended.

  8. l.... ....

    Love this track... haven't heard it in years, but damn does it reek of Steve Stevens!

    l.... ....

    STEVE STEVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
