Lyrics:
MICHAEL:
PLEASE MUM
EVERY BOY NEEDS TO GROW UP
SOME DAY SOON YOU WILL HAVE TO LET ME GO
I KNOW THAT IT’S GUNNA BE HARD
TO WATCH ME GROW
BUT I NEED TO KNOW
THAT YOU’RE ALRIGHT
BEFORE I DO
NOW THAT I’M SEVENTEEN THE END IS IN SIGHT
YOU’VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB MUM RAISING ME UP RIGHT
AND SO YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF
PLEASE… MUM
I AM
GRATEFUL FOR A MOTHER LIKE YOU
WHO KNOWS WHAT TO SAY WHEN I’M SCARED
YOU
ALWAYS ARE THERE WHEN I NEED YOU
AND WHEN I DO NOT
BUT I KNOW
THAT YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS FOR MY
OWN GOOD
EVEN WHEN I DON’T THINK YOU SHOULD
MUM PLEASE
MUM:
HONEY
THERE’S NOTHING TO SAY
I KNOW YOU’LL BE GONE ONE DAY
AND SO I’M GOING TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS I CAN WITH YOU
MICHAEL:
PLEASE MUM
EVERY BOY NEEDS TO GROW UP
SOME DAY SOON YOU WILL HAVE TO LET ME GO
I KNOW THAT IT’S GUNNA BE HARD
TO WATCH ME GROW
BUT I KNOW
THAT YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS FOR MY
OWN GOOD
EVEN WHEN I DON’T THINK YOU SHOULD
MUM PLEASE
MUM: (At the same time as Michael)
NO BOY REALLY EVER GROWS UP IN THEIR MOTHER'S EYES
NO, NO, THIS IS TOO HARD, TOO HARD TO BE TRUE
YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
I’M NOT RIGHT, NO I’M NOT DOING THIS ALL FOR MY OWN GOOD
EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T THINK I SHOULD
