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
