Mother says, Be careful
And don`t stay out too long
Don`t do things you shouldn`t
Miss me when I`m gone
Daddy says, Not now son
Well just do the best you can
And you`ll make out somehow son
Be just like I am, just like I am
You won`t need a reason
She don`t let you choose
And so, to make the game easy
Mother makes the rules
We all know how the rules are
Changin` from day to day
That`s the breaks, and I`m sorry
Some of us must be going
Some of us have to stay
Some of us may be showing
Some just fade away
It`s sad to say it`s the ending
All the feelin`s gone
If you don`t mind pretending
You can come along
And mother says she`s ready
And if you have the time
She`ll help us all to get steady
Make us all feel better, make us all feel fine
Make us all feel better, make us all feel fine
