Mortified by my Mother

from Still a Real World by Joanne Rand

/

about

My teenager's perspective, with a few memories from my own youth thrown in. All true.

lyrics

MORTIFIED BY MY MOTHER

I'm standing in front of the highschool
Trying to look cool
When along comes my mother
Acting like a fool
I turned my head away
Hoped she wouldn't see
'Cause I'm mortified by my mother, that's me

SHE WEARS HIGH WATER PANTS, ORTHOPEDIC SHOES
AND AT THE DINNER TABLE SHE TALKS WHILE SHE CHEWS
SHE KISSES ME IN PUBLIC, ACTS FAMILIAR WITH MY FRIENDS
THIS EMBARRASSING SITUATION HAS TO END

I was walking dow the street
Jiving with my peeps
When along comes my mother
And she's driving that old heep
I turned my head away
Hoping she would shoo
'Cause I'm mortified by my mother, it's true

SHE WEARS HIGH WATER PANTS, ORTHOPEDIC SHOES
AND AT THE DINNER TABLE SHE TALKS WHILE SHE CHEWS
SHE KISSES ME IN PUBLIC, ACTS FAMILIAR WITH MY FRIENDS
THIS EMBARRASSING SITUATION HAS TO END

Could be when I'm grown
And living on my own
I'll appreciate the fact that she's unique
But now I'm just thirteen
And you'll now what I mean
When I say that I would rather she not speak

SHE WEARS HIGH WATER PANTS, ORTHOPEDIC SHOES
AND AT THE DINNER TABLE SHE TALKS WHILE SHE CHEWS
SHE KISSES ME IN PUBLIC, ACTS FAMILIAR WITH MY FRIENDS
AND SHE SINGS HER LITTLE SONGS
AND SHE RARELY WEARS A BRA
THIS EMBARRASSING SITUATION CANNOT BE
'CAUSE I'M MORTIFIED BY MY MOTHER
MORTIFIED BY MY MOTHER
MORTIFIED BY MY MOTHER
THAT'S ME
