lyrics

Back as a school girl she was a flirt
With the face of an angel, the voice of a bird
She looks like a filmstar haven’t you heard?
She plays a part with very few words

She stars with the boyfriend she met in a bar
Fell for the spray-tan and feather white car
He looks like a filmstar haven’t you heard?
He plays a part with very few words

Oh I wonder is your mama proud?
Or won’t she give you the time, give you the time, give you the time of day?
Tell me, is your daddy talking to you?
Can you look in his eyes, look in his eyes, look in his eyes these days?
Oh I wonder is your mama proud?
Or won’t she give you the time, give you the time, give you the time of day?
Tell me, is your daddy talking to you?
Can you look in his eyes, look in his eyes, look in his eyes these days?

Days in the sunshine deepen the lines
Sitting on the top shelf, drinking the wine
She lives like a filmstar haven’t you heard
She plays a part with very few words

But not with the boyfriend she couldn’t engage
He went to play with someone his own age
She looks like a filmstar haven’t you heard
She plays a part with very few words, that’s right

Oh I wonder is your mama proud?
Or won’t she give you the time, give you the time, give you the time of day?
Tell me, is your daddy talking to you?
Can you look in his eyes, look in his eyes, look in his eyes these days?

Oh I wonder is your mama proud?
Or won’t she give you the time, give you the time, give you the time of day?
Tell me, is your daddy talking to you?
Can you look in his eyes, look in his eyes, look in his eyes these days?
Oh I wonder is your mama proud?
Or won’t she give you the time, give you the time, give you the time of day?
Tell me, is your daddy talking to you?
Can you look in his eyes, look in his eyes, look in his eyes these days?
