 Tell me what you're doing coming in
so late at night
I wanna know
You say you're going out with
childhood friends from way back
when
Where do you go?
Tell us what you want, we'll give you
what you need
Just show respect for your daddy,
little girl,
You know you never bite the hand
that feeds.
Your mother's driven up the walls, you
make too many calls
Who do you phone?
You use this place like some hotel,
you want something you ring the bell
That's wrong
So tell us what you want, we'll give
you what you need
Just show some love for your mother,
daughter dear
You know you never bite the hand
that feeds
I don't know what went wrong
I couldn't understand
You grew up much too fast for me,
I wish it was before, like back when
you were four
I had you on my knee and I told you
lots of pretty things
Familial attention can't be bought like
other toys, it can't be sold
And even if it could it wouldn't do you
any good, you ought to know
I'll tell you what I want, I'll tell you
what I need
I just need some money from my
parents, daddy dear
And I'm going to bite your hand 'til it
bleeds
I don't know what went wrong
I couldn't understand
You grew up much too fast for me,
I wish it was before, like back when
you were four
I had you on my knee and I told you
lots of pretty things
With her friend Bill, and on the pill,
she took a smallish flat in Sandycove
He wheels and deals, she cooks the
meals and soon it ended up just like
before
Way back at home
He tells her what he wants, he tells
her what he needs
He says "just show respect for your
man, little girl"
"You know you never bite the hand
that feeds"
