MOTHER - THE LATE STARTERS

VERSE 1
Why
Can’t you leave it alone
Get off a your phone

Why
Do you have to butt in
Their way is no sin
Independence begins

CHORUS

Mother
Don’t need a hovering and bovering and smothering helicopter
Mother

VERSE 2
Why

Let them have their say
They’ll do it their way

Last
Time he got wet
And now you can bet
He will never forget

CHORUS x 2

MIDDLE/INSTRU

VERSE 3
Now
They only got this far
Because of who you are
Let them drive their own car

If
They can drive away
Then you can say
You made him that way

CHORUS x 2
AD LIB
Not a hover….
You weren’t a….
They didn’t need a….
