What Would Her Mother Say? Lyrics

She's got a problem

And that problem's you

I told her to be careful

But that's something she didn't do

She thought she was in control

She wouldn't let herself fall

Because she's morally better than that

But it turns out she's just a fool

She's saying, oh what do I do now

Do I keep these feelings down

Do I trust that out of sight equals out of mind

Is it the attention? I blamed it on at the time

But yesterday when I saw him I knew that that was a lie

Because I'm in too deep now

The air is running thin

The music's started playing

And the lights are beginning to dim

She takes a seat on her high horse

She likes being on a pedestal

But the higher you try and stand

The further you have to fall

He's set up camp in her head

Using her guilt as a bed

She's trying to ignore him

But her willpower is starting to shred

People will think she's mad

They'll think she's really bad

What would her mother say

If she knew she loved a married man

She's saying, oh what do I do now

Do I keep these feelings down

Do I trust that out of sight equals out of mind

Is it the attention? I blamed it on at the time

But yesterday when I saw him I knew that that was a lie

So what do I do now

I'm hearing whispers all over town

The world is caving in and we're seconds from running out of time

He's calling me out of hours

And I'm losing track of the lies

The secret's born in the cold

That's where the truth goes to die

So what, so what, so what do I do now

So what, so what, so what do I do now

So what, so what, so what do I do now

So what do I do now

So what do I do now

People will think she's mad

They'll think she's really bad

What would her mother say
