Better Be Good Lyrics

Violet Hour Better Be Good

You better be good
 Or mama will take your freedom away
 Your freedom away
 You better be good
 Or mama will take your freedom away
 And you wouldn't
 You know it makes sense child
 To follow mama's style
 She hasn't got it in for us
 Growing up just takes a while
 Growing up just takes a while
 She moulds her puppet, ties on the strings
 For the whole wide world to see
 She'll drag you down and chain you up
 Takes her lifetime to break free
 Takes her lifetime to break free
 Don't speak, don't think
 Don't move, don't breathe
 She'll take you down again

 You better be good
 Or mama will take your freedom away
 Your freedom away
 You better be good
 Or mama will take your freedom away
 And you wouldn't like that would you

 So what if you're the problem child
 You know that mama's always right
 Don't you know what's right or wrong
 When you're out of mama's sight
 When you're out of mama's sight
 Now tell her that it's time to leave
 And you'll see mama cry
 Just walk on right out the door
 There's the whole wide world outside
 There's the whole wide world outside
 Don't speak, don't think
 Don't move, don't breathe
 She'll take you down again

 You better be good
 Or mama will take your freedom away
 Your freedom away
 You better be good
 Or mama will take your freedom away
 And you wouldn't like that would you
