Words & Music by Andy Summers Well, the telephone is ringing, Is that my mother on the phone? Telephone is ringing Is that my mother on the phone? The telephone is screaming Won't she leave me alone? The telephone is ringing Is that my mother on the phone? Well every girl that I go out with Becomes my mother in the end Every girl I go out with Becomes my mother in the end Well, I hear my mother calling But I don't need her as a friend Oh, Oh mother Oh mother dear please listen And don't devour me Oh mother dear please listen Don't devour me Oh women please have mercy Let this poor boy be Oh mother dear please listen And don't devour me
