Lyrics Mott The Hoople – Momma’s Little Jewel

Momma’s little jewel just out of school
Fresh from the nuns that made you
Don’t know why but I’m going to try
To re-in-celibate you

Momma’s little jewel you got the rules
But I’ll be the one to educate you
Take what’s mine, take a little time
And don’t bite the hand that makes you

True when I hold you near well I’m
Caught even when I’m on the road well I’m
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun

What you want, I can’t buy
So why don’t you try it my way
What you look for ain’t in the book
But I’m going to show you someday

Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you with my (w…?) when I
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun

You won’t rise you won’t shine
You won’t even try boys
You’ve got brains if you love changes
You’ll have to play with my toys

Momma’s little jewel, such a little fool
Thinks she can learn all the answers
She don’t want to feel, she just want to steal
Don’t want to take any chances

True when I hold you near well I’m
Caught even when I’m on the road when I’m

Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you with my watering gun when I
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun when I

Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
