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
