When you grow up
Livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama
Takes a shine to her best son
Something different
All the girls they seem to like you
Cause you're handsome
Like to talk and a whole lot of fun

But now your girl's gone a missin'
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said

Gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

The day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

Do it
(Think about what you're trying to do to me)
So she'll have no doubt
That we're doing ALL the best we can
We're gonna do it
(Let your mind go, let yourself be free)
You can stay up late
'cause baby you're a full grown man

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around

Gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut

Do it
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt
That we're doing ALL the best we can
We're gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late
'cause baby you're a full grown man

Do it
Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt
That we're doing ALL the best we can
We're gonna do it
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late
'cause baby you're a full grown man

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

The day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she says will fill your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

Do it
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt
That we're doing ALL the best we can
We're gonna do it
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late
'cause baby you're a full grown man

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

The day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
