The Girl Your Momma Warned You About

I see other girls tag themselves as the girls your mom warned you about See they're so right because they aren't like me See they cannot reach my standard To reach me they need to spout Because I was taught Taught by my mom And that, that makes me the girl your mom tells you about The girl that your mum wishes you could bring home See I am that kind of girl I may not wear flowers on my head As they do in the pictures But my character depicts that of a rose Now that makes me a flower myself! My character smells of a great fragrance All fragrances come from flowers Because all fruits start to grow as flowers I may not have the big eyes like they have But I have the eyes to see when danger is coming And I have eyes to see through and discern people The eyes that see dirt and clean it The eyes that see beyond sea I am that girl that your mum dreams about I am that girl that your mum wishes you could Have I am that girl
