Leave me Alone Lyrics

She's a force of nature - downgraded typhoon

Still her mind's a trap, tongue's a harpoon

She's as old as dirt - tender as a prune - oh Momma

She raised you fair - taught you how to fight

Brought you tummy meds in the middle of the night

Woke you up for school - wouldn't let you bail

Gave you back your room when your marriage failed

Now the table's turned and you're trying' to help.. good luck

Termites moving' in - Need your aspirin?

Looks like Momma's got a few choice words - you better duck

And Momma said

Leave me alone I wanna do it myself - I got 91 years on you

Leave me alone I don't want your help

Or your solicitudinous - phooey

I know you're whispering things behind my back

I don't care a whit - wouldn't waste a why

Leave me alone I wanna do it myself

You just stand back and watch me - that's sure to kill you

Way before I die

She takes 18 minutes to put on a shoe

You got a problem? I did it for you

Gotta repeat every thing THING you say to her face

But mumble under your breath - she hears each word in its place

Daddy's shirts are folded and ready-to-wear

He's gone 20 long years - get outta his chair

Comfortable stash in the bank - not a penny o' debt

Buys bruised fruit on the shelf - her rainy day ain't here yet

Mom the carpet's worn, the front shutter's cracked -

Back door's stuck

The kitchen sink is leaking - can I call a plumber..?

Momma's got a few choice words - you better duck

And Momma said

Leave me alone - I like it that way - you buttinsky

Leave me alone - go out in traffic and play

You're just a pain in my neck and your hair is a wreck

I know you're whispering things behind my back

I don't care a whit - Wouldn't waste a why

Leave me alone I like it that way

Don't just do something, sit there

That's sure to kill you - way before I die

I don't want your pity - I don't want to bathe

Butt out of my beeswax - go home to your cave

Overripe ain't pretty - and it don't behave

Stand back child - don't hover 'round my grave

And... leave me alone I wanna do it myself

I got 95 years on you

Leave me alone I don't want your help

....what was I saying?

I know you're whispering things behind my back

I don't care a whit - I wouldn't waste a why

Leave me alone I wanna do it myself

I'm having a senior moment

That's sure to kill you

Way before I die

Everybody sing!

Leave me alone I wanna do it myself

I got 95 years on you

Leave me alone I don't want your help - Period

I know you're whispering things behind my back

I don't care a whit - wouldn't waste a why

Leave me alone I wanna do it myself

Bye Bye now

Way before I die

And I ain't fixin' to die
