And our mother told us what we cannot do
It's pouring down, it's taking over you
Thank God our mother told us what we cannot do
You've got the lines
You've got the makeup to make it out alive
Did you forget what water does to your crooked smile?
Wash it away and you're left with nothing
Nothing but a face
Thank God our mother taught us what we cannot erase
Climb up the ladder
Don't drop your eyes until you hit the top
It's scary up there if you don't say your prayers before you start to fall
People below you
You're sure they'll catch you
But you are wrong
Thank God your mother finally showed you where you belong
You've got the sad lies
You've got the bad guys on your side
And pretty girls that break my sister
To me she'll confideit's getting higher, it's my last chance now
Don't say no
Thank God our mother told us where you will go
Baby girl, I'm watching over you And our mother told us what we cannot do It's pouring down, it's taking over you Thank God our mother told us what we cannot do You've got the lines You've got the makeup to make it out alive Did you forget what water does to your crooked smile? Wash it away and you're left with nothing Nothing but a face Thank God our mother taught us what we cannot erase Climb up the ladder Don't drop your eyes until you hit the top It's scary up there if you don't say your prayers before you start to fall People below you You're sure they'll catch you But you are wrong Thank God your mother finally showed you where you belong You've got the sad lies You've got the bad guys on your side And pretty girls that break my sister To me she'll confideit's getting higher, it's my last chance now Don't say no Thank God our mother told us where you will go Explain Request ×
