My Mother Would Like You

My mother would like you That's a very bad sign It's only fair I should tell you I may be wasting your time Your ivy league school, your faith in the rules The cut of your clothes and your hair Your country club style, your boy next door smile Let's face it you don't have a prayer My mother would like you If I ever invited you home But I won't even tell her about you It's better she thinks I'm alone Your sensible heart, your company car Could anyone doubt you're sincere You call for a date, you're willing to wait? I guess I'm not making it clear My mother would like you That's just the trouble, my dear Is it so unkind for me to speak my mind Should I hide behind a veneer Even if I do, when it comes to you I can't make the truth disappear My mother would like you That's just the trouble, my dear Your sensible heart, your company car Could anyone doubt you're sincere You call for a date, you're willing to wait? I guess I'm not making it clear My mother would like you That's just the trouble, my dear My mother would like you That's just the trouble, my dear
