Mother May I

Mother may I

Mother may I

I wanna go outside tonight

Tell me it's alright

Mother may I

Mommy, just listen

Something in the wind keeps callin' me

And I'm old enough now to answer

I want everything that's mine

Give it all to me

I need your, your blessing

'Cause your baby was born to be out of control

It'll help me make it home safely

But I'm still not sure if I wanna live to be old

Oh

Mother may I

Oh

Mother may I

I wanna go outside tonight

Tell me it's alright

Mother may I

Now mommy

I know you're watchin'

I've been a good boy

I'll never bring you shame

I'll never know all your secrets

But it's impossible for us not to be the same

Now I've got one chance, y'all

To do whatever it is I'm supposed to do

And when you think I'm ready

Please make sure that I come back home with you

Oh

Mother may I

Oh

Mother may I

I wanna go outside tonight

Tell me it's alright

Mother may I

Mother may I

Oh

Mother may I

Say I wanna be alive tonight

Tell me it's alright

Mother may I

Aw, yeah

One way you can show you really love me

Is to let me go

Ooh

Oh, but make sure you tell my Heavenly Father

I said hello

Ooh

Mother may I

Oh

Mother may I

I wanna go outside tonight

Tell me it's alright

Mother may I

Mother may I

Oh

Mother may I

Say I wanna be alive tonight

Tell me it's alright

Mother may I
