Christine Baranski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you're blue
But I can't take a chance
On a kid like you
It's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face
That your feelings
Ah, but boy you're only a child
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out
Take it easy
Take it easy better slow down boy
That's no way to go
Does your mother know
Take it easy
Take it easy try to cool it boy
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know
I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me
A flash of that smile
But boy you're only a child
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out
Take it easy
Take it easy better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know
Take it easy
Take it easy try to cool it girl
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out
Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out
Does your mother know that you're out
Does your mother know that you're out
Does your mother know, does your mother know that you're out
The lyrics of "Does Your Mother Know" by Christine Baranski and Philip Michael are about an older woman who is being hit on by a younger man. The woman is hesitant to engage with him because she can sense that he is not emotionally mature enough for a relationship. She acknowledges that there is a temptation to pursue him for his physical attractiveness, but ultimately decides against it because of his age. The song repeats the phrase "does your mother know that you're out," suggesting that the woman is concerned that the boy's mother may not approve of him flirting with an older woman.
The song was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, members of the iconic Swedish pop group ABBA. "Does Your Mother Know" was released in 1979 as the second single from their album "Voulez-Vous." The song became a top 10 hit in several countries, including the UK and the US.
Line by Line Meaning
You're so hot, teasing me
You're attractive and trying to entice me
So you're blue
So you're inexperienced
But I can't take a chance
But I can't risk getting involved with you
On a kid like you
On someone as young as you
It's something I couldn't do
It's something I'm not willing to do
There's that look in your eyes
I can see desire in your eyes
I can read in your face
I can read your expressions
That your feelings
That you are experiencing strong emotions
Are driving you wild
Are causing you to act impulsively
Ah, but boy you're only a child
But you're still very young
Well I can dance with you honey
I can dance with you if you want
If you think it's funny
If you find it amusing
But does your mother know that you're out
But is your mother aware of your actions
And I can chat with you baby
I can talk with you if you want
Flirt a little maybe
Maybe even flirt a little
Take it easy
Slow down
Take it easy better slow down boy
Relax and slow down, young man
That's no way to go
That's not a good path to take
Does your mother know
Is your mother aware
Take it easy better slow down girl
Relax and slow down, young lady
Take it easy try to cool it girl
Relax and try to calm yourself
Play it nice and slow
Keep a slow and steady pace
I can see what you want
I understand what you desire
But you seem pretty young
But you appear to be quite young
To be searching for that kind of fun
To be seeking that kind of entertainment
So maybe I'm not the one
So maybe I'm not the best fit for you
Now you're so cute
You're very charming
I like your style
I appreciate your attitude
And I know what you mean
And I understand what you're trying to do
When you give me
When you flash me
A flash of that smile
A smile like that
Does your mother know, does your mother know that you're out
Is your mother aware that you've left home

I have an issue with how she plays this. She knows she’s far too old to be fooling around with this young boy, but she’s also flattered by it. So why does she humiliate him?
