My Mother Would Like You Video (MV)

My mother would like you
That's a very bad sign
It's only fair I should tell you
I may be wasting your time

Your ivy league school, your faith in the rules
The cut of your clothes and your hair
Your country club style, your boy next door smile
Let's face it you don't have a prayer

My mother would like you
If I ever invited you home
But I won't even tell her about you
It's better she thinks I'm alone

Your sensible heart, your company car
Could anyone doubt you're sincere
You call for a date, you're willing to wait?
I guess I'm not making it clear
My mother would like you
That's just the trouble, my dear

Is it so unkind for me to speak my mind
Should I hide behind a veneer
Even if I do, when it comes to you
I can't make the truth disappear
My mother would like you
That's just the trouble, my dear

Your sensible heart, your company car
Could anyone doubt you're sincere
You call for a date, you're willing to wait?
I guess I'm not making it clear

My mother would like you
That's just the trouble, my dear
My mother would like you
That's just the trouble, my dear
