Paula Sometimes even mothers make mistakes And I've made my share Though I swear I've tried to be the best I can be But sometimes I forget that you are always there Like a video camera Always watching me Think about your ever-loving mother as a Luminous example Just cause I've an appetite for heartache doesn't mean You need a sample I'm counting on you to exercise good solid judgement Totally different from mine Don't follow in my footsteps And you're gonna be fine Lucy You want me to watch you ev'ry movement and the expect Me to ignore you Paula You can go and make your own mistakes or you can let Me make them for you Whenever you see me go down in flames ask the question Why put my hand in the fire? Don't follow in my footsteps Lucy & Paula These are words to inspire Paula Do as I say not as I do Just to spare the lion's share of what I've been through Just remember everything that I did wrong I did it all wrong for you Lucy How would you react if I decided to grow up to be a Dancer? Paula I would prob'bly ground you till you're fifty while I thought about the answer Lucy I wanna make my life on the stage just like you did Paula Find an original sin Don't pick up any dance steps Don't pick up any actors Don't follow in my footsteps That's a place to begin Now and then you've caught me with a cigarette While wheezing hard and choking Lucy Mom, I got the message That's why I decided to quit smoking Whenever I'm in a moment Of doubt, I remember Mom's an infallible guide Don't follow in her footsteps Paula And you'll fill me with pride Lucy Moms have got it rough but if you really want a Challenge Be a daughter Both It's about as hard as walking on or Breathing under water Paula Where do you find a kid who'll just do what She's told to? Lucy Ripley's believe it or not Paula Don't Both Follow in my footsteps Paula You'll Both Miss a lot of potholes Paula You'll Both Make it though the minefield It's your very best shot Paula So thank you loving momma Who did it all wrong for you Both She's a prefect example The key to exactly what not to do Back to main page: Goodbye Girl, The Lyrics
