Mother Knows Best (From "Tangled")

Mother Knows Best (From "Tangled") - Donna Murphy

You want to go outside son

Oh

Why rapunzel

Look at you as fragile as a flower

Still a little sapling just a sprout

You know why we stay up in this tower

I know but

That's right to keep you safe and sound dear

Guess i always knew this day was coming

Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest

Soon but not yet

But

Shh trust me pet

Mother knows best

Mother knows best

Listen to your mother

It's a scary world out there

Mother knows best

One way or another

Something will go wrong i swear

Ruffians thugs

Poison ivy quicksand

Cannibals and snakes the plague

No

Yes

But

Also large bugs

Men with pointy teeth and

Stop no more you'll just upset me

Mother's right here

Mother will protect you

Darling here's what i suggest

Skip the drama

Stay with mama

Mother knows best

Go ahead get trampled by a rhino

Go ahead get mugged and left for dead

Me i'm just your mother what do i know

I only bathed and changed and nursed you

Go ahead and leave me i deserve it

Let me die alone here be my guest

When it's too late you'll see just wait

Mother knows best

Mother knows best

Take it from your mumsy

On your own you won't survive

Sloppy under-dressed

Immature clumsy

Please they'll eat you up alive

Gullible naive

Positively grubby

Ditzy and a bit well hmm vague

Plus i believe

Gettin' kinda chubby

I'm just saying 'cause i love you

Mother understands

Mother's here to help you

All i have is one request

Rapunzel

Yes

Don't ever ask to leave this tower again

Yes mother

Oh i love you very much dear

I love you more

I love you most hmm

Don't forget it

You'll regret it

Mother knows best
