Mother's Advice Lyrics

Mother, she knows me better than I know myself

Mother, Mother, she told me I love somebody else

Mother, Mother, she knew this though I did not speak

Mother, Mother, how do you always know what I think?

So that is why

That is why

That is why I am saying goodbye

That is why

That is why

That is why I am saying goodbye

Mother, she said I’d better choose you or choose him

Which is why I stand here with this decision

Though I don’t like to hurt you, I can’t stand to lie

Or ignore my Mother and her good advice

So that is why

That is why

That is why I am saying goodbye

That is why

That is why

That is why I am saying goodbye
