Lyrics

Mother, may I? Tell me what to do
Tell me where to go and who to sock it to
Mother, may I open up the door
To the heart of the one I love?

 
If you may take another big step
Closer to the one you love
Yes, you may take a giant step
And sing for joy and shout for love
May I hug her, and may I kiss her
And miss her till she comes again?
She's something more than just a friend
I'll love her till the very end

 
If you may take another big step
Get closer to the one you love
Yes, you may take a giant step
And sing it to the stars above
May I hug her, and may I squeeze her
And please her till she comes again?
She's something more than just a friend
Oh, I'll love her till the very end
