You're looking like you're standing in a bus queue
Say you don't care but deep inside you do
What if some guy should come and try to talk to you?
You're crazy now 'cause you know your love is true

Every mothers son - would say that they're in love with you
Every mothers son - would take you out tonight
But every mothers son - would just get put down by you
So this mothers son just isn't gonna' try

Decked out like some figure from a fashion show
Your clothes say yes but your eyes are saying no
Must be some way I can get to talk to you
But what's the point I never would be true

Every mothers son - would say that they're in love with you
Every mothers son - would take you out tonight
But every mothers son - would just get put down by you
So this mothers son just isn't gonna' try

You're putting on your brave face
You have to win this rat race
And what you do is no disgrace
We do it every day - it's just the modern way

See you turn and walk towards the shelter
It's Friday night but you're going home alone
Door slams - she's home
Red eyed you run for cover
In case you make yourself a no-go zone

Every mothers son - would say that they're in love with you
Every mothers son - would take you out tonight
But every mothers son - would just get put down by you
So this mothers son just isn't gonna' try
