Mark Ronson - Mother May I Live Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Alright, so, we don't just, uh
We don't just put on clothes and come on out here and just do as we wish
Like, we ask permission, you know?
In prayer, and also go to my mother
And this is a song called "Mother May I"

[Chorus]
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I

[Verse 1]
Mommy, just listen
Something in the wind keeps calling me
And I'm old enough now to answer
I want everything that's mine
Give it all to me
And I need your, your blessing
'Cause your baby was born to be out of control
It'll help me make it home safely
But I'm still not sure if I wanna live to be old
Oh
[Chorus]
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I

[Verse 2]
Now mommy, I know you're watching
I've been a good boy, I'll never bring you shame
And I'll never know all your secrets
But it's impossible for us not to be the same
Now see, I've got one chance, y'all
To do whatever it is I'm supposed to do
And when you think I'm ready
Please make sure that I come back home with you
Oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Mother may I (Help me, mama)
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I (Oh, one more time)
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
Say I wanna be alive tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
[Bridge]
One way you can show you really love me
Just to let me go
Oh, but make sure that you tell my Heavenly Father
I said "Hello"
Ooh hoo ooh

[Chorus]
Oh, mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna go outside tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
Mother may I
Oh, mother may I
I wanna be alive tonight
Tell me it's alright
Mother may I
