Treat Me Like Your Mother

Treat Me Like Your Mother
Don't act like you can't act

and treat me like your mother

Don't act like you can't act

and treat me like your mother
You came on too late
You came on too late now
You came on too late

C'mon look me in the eye

You came on too late
You came on too late now
