June Song 8: "I Hope Your Mum Hates Him" by Jake Bennett

By Ventipop @ventipop

I hope that your mum hates him
I hope that your mum hates him
I know that he's wonderful
But I hope that your mum's not sure
I hope that your mum hates him
So, then when you're under him
Thinking he's wonderful
You remember that your mum still likes me
(Your mum still likes me)

I hope he drinks burbourn
I hope he's good fun
No doubt you deserve him
Mm, I hope is the one
I'm not being selfish
I know that we're done
But when you take him home
And say you're in love

The soapy little piece of me left
Stuck back in the back of your head
From when you take him to bed
And hold him close to your chest
'Cause over dinner she was asking if we're still in touch
And sure enough you'll have to say yes (yes)

I hope that your mum hates him
I hope that your mum hates him
I know that he's wonderful
But I hope that your mum's not sure
I hope that your mum hates him
So, then when you're under him
Thinking he's wonderful
You'll remember that your mum still likes me

More, more
More, more

Oh and he's a catch, he's a real Ryan Gosling
Won't get too attached
'Cause it's not what you want
And no, I'm not a patch
So what else can I do man?
But imagine that your mum thinks that he's got kind of douche bag

Hope that he's got bad habits that will drive her bananas
For you it doesn't matter but for her it's disastrous
We want to be happy and he might be the answer
But it doesn't mean me not think he's a right little bastard
(Your mum still likes me)

I hope that your mum hates him
I hope that your mum hates him
I know that he's wonderful
But I hope that your mum's not sure
I hope that your mum hates him
So, then when you're under him
Thinking he's wonderful
You remember that your mum still likes me

More, more
More, more

Oh, but what if he's perfect?
What if he's perfect?
Oh fuck
Does that make me worthless?
Does that make me worthless?
Oh, but what if he's perfect?
What if he's perfect?
Oh fuck
Does that make me worthless?
Does that make me worthless?

Just one little piece of me left
Stuck in the back of your head
From when he takes off your dress
Just one little piece of me left
Stuck in the back of your head
So I don't feel second best

I hope that your mum hates him
