Look mama
I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama
I love you
But you gotta let me live my life

Don't wrap me up in cotton wool

You cannot treat me like a fool
Anyway if I was
You gotta let me be the one
Ok
Give me your advice

It's not my fault if I can't be wise

Show me a person who hasn't been done
Look mama
I love you
But you gotta let me live my life

Don't try to stick your rules on me

I wasn't born as a carbon copy
I came out of you
But don't think you own me
I have my respect for you
I won't try to change
The things you do Give me a break

Let me learn it my way You think you know more
Than me
Experience hasn't set you free

Look mama
I love you
Look mama look
Look mama look
Look mama
I love you
Look mama look
Look mama look

I gotta make my own mistakes

Why can't you treat me like a friend?
Look mama
I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama
I love you
Look mama look

Look mama
I love you
