[Verse 1]
She taught them all about sex and other little girls
Encouraging them to go out among friends and spread the word
And going from one little game to another
She'd be more of a friend than a mother
Kept them in her freedom
[Chorus]
Oh, look at her
Lady McKenzie, she's in a frenzy
For her children to leave
So she can be free
What a drag it must be
Feeling wanted
[Verse 2]
She said "If you've got a problem, I'm not here to help you
You've got your hang-ups, it's none of my fault, pull yourself through
Ah, you say that you need me, I'm only your mother
I only work here, please don't bother me
Teach yourself to be free"
[Chorus]
Oh, look at her
Lady McKenzie, she's in a frenzy
For her children to leave
So she can be free
What a drag it must be
Feeling wanted
[Verse 3]
I tried to help her, to tell her they wouldn't be what she'd like them to
You can't fix your mind if it's wrapped in the twine of the psycho blues
She just said "Get out, 'cause mother's always right
In a logical world, age means might
If you're raped, chalk it up to experience"
[Chorus]
Oh, take a good look at her
Lady McKenzie, she's in a frenzy
For her children to leave
So she can be free
What a drag it must be
Feeling wanted
