Your dear old mother taught me well
She makes me wanna ring her bell
Of all the things she said to me
I sure remeber the word "please"

I know that you know that I know
That this can't go on
I know that you know that I know
That this is all wrong

It's hard to follow her allures
I love all mothers but I may not love yours
The shame and guilt do wear me down
I've got the most outrageous secret in town

I know that you know that I know
That this can't go on
I know that you know that I know
That this is all wrong

If love is bound to end
I cannot comprehend
What they define as wrong and right

The whole wide universe
Is now put in reverse
The rules are set and I oblige

Your dear old mother taught me well
She made me wanna ring her bell
I know it's wrong but it's so good
Word gets around in the neighbourhood

I know that you know that I know
That this can't go on
I know that you know that I know
That this is all wrong

If love is bound to end
I cannot comprehend
What they define as wrong and right

The whole wide universe
Is now put in reverse
The rules are set and I oblige
