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
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
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
