carly simon - a mother's intuition lyrics

(carly simon)
it's a mother's intuition
to make a little space
it's her quiet mission to tidy up her place
a mother's intuition is like a kangaroo's
she hops around, she mops the ground
she fusses over you

a mother
with her intuition
will know just what to do

it's a mother's intuition to wash her baby
well she won't forget behind the ears
and the extra soap suds on the tail
a mother's into cleaning
she'll clean until she's through
she's smart enough
she's wise enough
to add up two and two

a mother
with her intuition
will know just what to do

a mother has a feeling
she pays special attention
if someone is concealing
if someone's playing tricks
she rubs and scrubs and scours the secrets
until the answer clicks

then she takes a brush
and polishes your teeth
she'll make you shine and sparkle new
until she finds the real you
underneath

isn't it charming?
just mommy and little roo
fresh as a daisy
sparkling just like new

it's a mother's intuition
it's a mother's intuition
it's a mother's intuition
