I Wish I Was Your Mother

I scream at you for sharing
 And I curse you just for caring
 I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty
 And I tell you not to see me
 And I tell you not to feel me
 And I make your life a drag, it's such a pity
 And I watch your warm glow palin'
 And I watch your sparkle fadin'
 As you realise you're failin', 'cause you're so good
 No, I don't mean to upset you
 But there's so much crime to get through
 If only I could make it easier then I would
 Oh, I wish I was your mother
 I wish I'd been your father
 And then I would have seen you
 Would have been you as a child
 Played houses with your sisters
 And wrestled with all your brothers
 And then who knows
 I might have felt a family for a while
 ♪
 It's no use me pretendin'
 You give and I do the spendin'
 Is there a happy ending? I don't think so
 'Cause even if we make it
 I'll be too far out to take it
 You'll have to try and shake it from my head
 Oh, I wish I was your mother
 I wish I'd been your father
 And then I would have seen you
 Would have been you as a child
 Played houses with your sisters
 And wrestled with all your brothers
 And then who knows
 I might have felt a family for a while
