Lyrics

Just look at your father
And you'll see how you took after him
Me, I'm just another
Like my brothers
Of my mother's genes

All they ever want for you
Are the things they didn't do
All they ever wanted--a little clue
All they ever wanted--the truth
All they ever wanted--a little bit of you
All they ever wanted
But they never did get

The whims that we're weeping for
Our parents would be beaten for
Leave the breast
And then the nest
And then regret you ever left

All we're ever looking for
Is another open door
All we ever look for--another womb
All we ever look for--our own tomb
All we ever look for--ooh, la lune
All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too
All we ever look for
But we never do score

All we ever look for--a god
All we ever look for--ooh, a drug
All we ever look for--a great big hug
All we ever look for--a little bit of you
All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too
All we ever look for
But we never do score
