if you want a girl to be your mother
go find another
go find another one
you only call me when your life’s going under
i’m not just a cover
not just a cover up
and then you wanna be the tough guy
with the appetite
well i’m not gonna stop you
but if you’re looking for a bed to recover on
go find another one
go find another one
and you’re a grown boy, such a grown boy
don’t expect the world, to clean up for you
‘cuz they don’t have to
don’t expect the stars, to line up for you
they’ll shine right past you
you seem to think, you always get
exactly what you asked for…
but i’m not your mother
ba ga de ga de ga de wee!
if you want a girl to be your mother
go find another
go find another one
you only call me when you’re down on your dollar
i’m not just a cover
not just a cover up
and then you wanna be the tough guy
with the appetite
you wanna eat your cake don’t you?
but if you’re looking for a bed to recover on
go find another one
go find another one
and you’re a grown boy, such a grown boy…
don’t expect the world
don’t expect the world
don’t expect the world to clean up for you
‘cuz they don’t have to
don’t expect the stars to line up for you
they’ll shine right past you
you seem to think, you always get
exactly what you asked for…
but i’m not your mother
if you want a girl to be your mother
go find another
go find another one
you only call me when your life’s goin’ under
i’m not just a cover
not just a cover up

The Song Meaning to me is really simple, the song begins with her talking about two friends and there friendship, and the bases it he keeps calling or asking her for help agin and again and again till eventually her rage about him only asking for help and never helping her back starts to builds up, this rage comes out and starts viewing him more as a child that isnt to be respected because he cant hold his own in life, yet instead of mothering him she wants freedom and begins to help him less and tells him to find someone else to leech of, this results with her rage becoming so much she no longer can controll it and she stop viewing him as a friend and more as a pesk all together, this is just what i think the song is about, it could mean more or less or something interely dirrent yet this is how i interpritate this song and believe that it can be reflected on most friendships, e.g. i only really have huge discusions with meaning with my friend dan if i’ve had something bad happen, in this situation i’d become the boy and he’d become the girl slowly getting sick of my consistant peskering.
