Mother Knows Best Songtext

von Donna Murphy

You want to go outside?

Why, Rapunzel.
Look at you, as fragile as a flower.

Still a little sappling,
Just a sprout.

You know why we stay up in this tower.
(I know, but-)
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, Dear.

Guess I always knew this day was coming.
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest.

Soon, but not yet.
(But-)
Shhhhh, trust me pet.
Mother knows best!

Mother knows best,
Listen to your mother.
It's a scary world out there.

Mother knows best,
One way or another.
Something will go wrong, I swear!
Ruffians!
Thugs!
Poison ivy!
Quicksand!
Cannibals and snakes!
The Plague!
(No!) Yes! (But-)
Also, large bugs!

Men with pointy teeth, and-
Stop!
No more.
You'll just upset me.
Mother's right here.
Mother will protect you.

Darling, here's what i suggest:
Skip the drama,
Stay with Mama.

Mother knows best!
Got ahead, get trampled by a rhino.

Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead!
Me, I'm just your mother. What do I know?

I only bathed, and changed, and nursed you.
Go ahead and leave me,
I deserve it.
Let me die alone here,
Be my guest!
When it's too late, you'll see. Just wait.
Mother knows best.
Mother knows best, take it from your mumzie.
On your own, you won't survive.
Sloppy!
Underdressed!
Immature!
Clumsy!
Please, they'll eat you up alive!

Gullible!
Naive!
Positivly grubby!

Dizzy!
And a bit, well, hmm, vague!
Plus, I believe, getting kinda chubby.
I'm just saying 'cause I love you.
Mother understands!
Mother's here to help you!
All I have is one request...
Rapunzel?
(Yes?)
Don't ever ask to leave this tower, again.
(...Yes Mother.)
I love you very much dear.
(I love you more.)
I love you most.
Don't forget it,
You'll regret it.
Mother knows best!
