I see you from across the room
Out of the darkness like a perfect bloom
I tell myself to leave this place
Then you start to walk, my heart starts to race
You've got those kind of legs
That bring me to my knees
But you're behind barbed wire
Flashing keys and white teeth
I really want you now
But you're already full
Too full of yourself
Too full of your-
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip
You're a hypocrite, baby
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip
While you're telling me to take it easy
I, I, I don't know
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you
May've failed
(What your mother taught you may've failed)
I, I, I don't know
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you
May've failed
(What your mother taught you may've failed)
I ain't a trust fund baby
But trust me I'm fun lately
I've been drinking too much
Maybe just enough not to get lazy
Yeah, you listen well
But only when I talk, I talk of yourself
I like the sound your voice takes
Apparently so do you so I have a choice to make
You say let's have another now
But I've had enough, I'm getting out
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip
You're a hypocrite, baby
Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip
While you're telling me to take it easy
I, I, I don't know
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you
May've failed
(What your mother taught you may've failed)
I, I, I don't know
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you
May've failed
(What your mother taught you may've failed)
Girl, don't lose yourself
Within yourself, baby
Girl, don't lose yourself
Within yourself
Still I really want you now
Girl, I really want you now
Still I really want you now
Girl, I really want you now
I, I, I don't know
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you
May've failed
(What your mother taught you may've failed)
I, I, I don't know
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you
May've failed
(What your mother taught you may've failed)
I don't know
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you, girl
(What your mother taught you may've failed)
What your mother taught you, girl
What your mother taught you, girl
I know, I know
What your mother taught you girl
