Róisín Murphy - Momma's Place

So you think you know it all
But that's just the arrogance of youth
I've been there and I've done it, baby
I'm telling you the truth

Your momma was a tear away
I used to think I knew it all
Thought I could play the game and not get played, no
But then the fall

Don't you go pull a fast one
I used to be an awful rascal
Do you think you invented being bad
I used to be a real rough-hewn
But had to become a tough one
Do you think you invented being bad

Don't you go pull a fast one
I used to be an awful rascal
Do you think you invented being bad
I used to be a real rough-hewn
But had to become a tough one
Do you think you invented being bad

I bet you think I look respectable
You should've seen me in my prime
You'd have thought that I was headed for, oh yeah
A life of crime
I bet you think that you're the clever one, clever one
The one that got away
Well, I've seen them come and seen them go, oh yeah
But I have it made

I'm as sweet as I can be
I've earned respectability
Do you know I have a history
You won't get to pull the wool over my eyes
Fool, if you think you'll make a fool of me

Nothing you do
Remotely new
It all been done
When I was young
In younger days
I went astray
I might to say
It's all a haze

It's all been done
Your brand new craze
It all begun
At momma's place

Don't you go pull a fast one
I used to be an awful rascal
Do you think you invented being bad
I used to be a real rough-hewn
But had to become a tough one
Do you think you invented being bad

Don't you go pull a fast one
I used to be an awful rascal
Do you think you invented being bad
I used to be a real rough-hewn
But had to become a tough one
Do you think you invented being bad

Don't you go pull a fast one
I used to be an awful rascal
Do you think you invented being bad
I used to be a real rough-hewn
But had to become a tough one
Do you think you invented being bad
