Does Your Mother Know?

You’re so hot, teasing me
So you’re blue but I can’t take a chance on a chick like you
That’s something I couldn’t do
There’s that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you’re only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it’s funny
Does your mother know that your out?
And I can chat to you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that your out?
Take it easy
Take it nice and slow
That’s no way to go
Does your mother know
Take it easy
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I’m not the one
Now you’re so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of your smile
But girl you’re only a child

Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it’s funny
Does your mother know that your out?
And I can chat to you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that your out?
Take it easy
Take it nice and slow
That’s no way to go
Does your mother know
Take it easy
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
