I scream at you for sharing   'N I curse you just for caring   I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty   'N I tell to not to see me   'N I tell you not to feel me   'N I make your life a drag, it's such a pity      'N I watch your warm glow palin'   'N I watch your sparkle fadin'   As you realize you're failin', cause you're so good   Now I don't mean to upset you   But there's so much crime to get through   If only I could make it easier, then I would      Oh I wish I was your mother   I wish I'd been your father   'N then I would have seen you   Would have been you as a child   Played houses with your sisters   And wrestled with all your brothers   And then who knows   I might have felt a family for a while      It's no use me pretendin'   You give and I do the spendin'   Is there a happy ending, I don't think so   Cause even if we make it   I'll be too far out to take it   You'll have to try and shake it from my head      Oooooh I wish I was your mother   I wish I'd been your father   'N then I would have seen you   Would have been you as a child   Played houses with your sisters   And wrestled with all your brothers   And then who knows   I might have felt a family for a while
