Maybe she'll hold your hand.
You're forty years old,
But Mommy understands.

If you behave she'll give you a beer.
You heard her loud and clear.
She told you so, oh, oh oh.

Break those apron strings,
And learn to live by yourself,
Without Mom's help.
When you lose that teething ring,
You'll stop feeling like a puppet on a string.
Break those apron strings...

Maybe,
You'll see the light,
And move out before its your Wedding night, hmm.
Maybe,
She won't let go.
You can't leave the house she's afraid you'll catch a cold.
She told you so...

So break those apron strings,
And learn to live without your Mom's help.
When you lose that teething ring,
You'll stop feeling like a puppet on a string,
On a string.
Maybe she won't let go.
You can't leave the house,
She's afraid you'll catch a cold, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

So break those apron strings,
And learn to live by yourself,
Without Mom's help.
When you lose that teething ring,
You'll stop feeling like a puppet on a string.

So break those apron strings.
Learn to live by yourself,
Without your Mommy's help.
When you lose that teething ring,
You'll stop feeling like a puppet on a string, yeah yeah, ooh ooh.
