[Verse 1]
Doing things that are bad for my body
Doing things that are bad for my health
Doing things that are bad for my future
'Cause I can't help myself
Doing things that are bad for my body
Doing things that are bad for my wealth
Doing things that are bad for my credit
'Cause I can't help myself
[Chorus]
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
Mother, if you only knew
But Mother dear, you did it too
[Verse 2]
Doing things that are bad for my body
Doing things that are bad for my health
Doing things that are bad for my future
'Cause I can't help myself
Doing things that are bad for my image
Doing things that are bad for my rep
Doing bad for my permanent record
'Cause I can't help myself
[Chorus]
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
Mother, if you only knew
But Mother dear, you did it too
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
If our mothers only knew
The trouble that we get into
Mother, if you only knew
But Mother dear, you did it too
