Treat Me Like Your Mother lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't act like you can't act
I know I seen you do it
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

Don't act like you can't act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You came on too late
You came on too late now
You came on too late
To do a thing

[Verse 2]
C'mon look me in the eye
You want to try to tell a lie?
I bet you can't and you know why?
I'm just like your mother

Ah look me in the eye now
You want to try to tell a lie?
You can't, you know why?
I'm just like your mother
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You came on too late
You came on too late now
You came on too late
Play dumb, play dead, play straight

[Chorus 1]
Who's got it figured out?
Play dumb, play dead, play straight
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight, trying to manipulate

[Bridge]
M-a-n-i-p-u-late
M-a-n-i-p-u-late
M-a-n-i-p-u-late
M-a-n-i-p-u-late
Am I too? Am I late?
Am I too? Am I late?
Am I, am I, am I, am I
Am I too late

[Chorus 2]
Who's got it figured out?
Left, right, left, right
Got it figured out?
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
[Verse 3]
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
And look me in the eye now
Treat me like your mother
C'mon look me in the eye
You want to try to tell a lie?
You can't and you know why?
I'm just like your mother

[Chorus 1 - excerpt]
Play dumb, play dead
Trying to manipulate

[Outro]
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out?
Left right left right
Got it figured out?
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
Trying to manipulate
Who's got it figured out?
Left, left right, left right, left right
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
Trying to manipulate
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
