(ian hunter/overend watts)

Mommas little jewel just out of school fresh from the nuns that made you

Dont know why but Im going to try to re-in-celibate you
Mommas little jewel you got the rules but Ill be the one to educate you
Take whats mine take a little time and dont bite the hand that makes you

True when I hold you near well im
Caught even when Im on the road well im
Wearing my scorpio faces when i
Come in the midnight sun

What you want I cant buy so why dont you try it my way
What you look for aint in the book but Im 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 wont rise you wont shine you wont even try boys
Youve got brains if you love changes youll have to play with my toys
Mommas little jewel such a little fool thinks she can learn all the answers

She dont want to feel she just want to steal dont want to take any chances

True when I hold you near well im
Caught even when Im on the road when im
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
