Mother Gothel:
You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
Rapunzel:
I know but...
Mother Gothel:
Thats right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon youd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet
Rapunzel:
But --
Mother Gothel:
Shh!
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
Its a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes
The plague
Rapunzel:
No!
Mother Gothel:
Yes!
Rapunzel:
But --
Mother Gothel:
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, youll just upset me
Mothers right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, heres what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother knows best
Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead
Me, Im just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed you
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
Let me die alone here, be my guest
When its too late
Youll see, just wait
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you wont survive
Sloppy, underdressed
Immature, clumsy
Please, theyll eat you up alive
Gullible, naive
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin kinda chubby
Im just saying cause I wuv you
Mother understands
Mothers here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?
Rapunzel:
Yes?
Mother Gothel:
Dont ever ask to leave this tower again.
Rapunzel:
Yes, Mother.
Mother Gothel:
I love you very much, dear.
Rapunzel:
I love you more.
Mother Gothel:
I love you most.
Dont forget it
Youll regret it
Mother knows best
