Lyrics
Mama told me not to wander
Into the woods alone
Monster could eat you up
And spit out your bones
I like to pick the flowers
Along the way
My conscience tells me
That I really shouldn't stay
But I see...
Something pretty over here...
Something pretty over there...
Mama told me not to fall for
Pretty appearances
If it's too good to be true
Then it probably is
I like to pick the flowers
Forget the cost
My conscience tells me
That I'm just a little lost
But I see...
Something pretty over here...
Something pretty over there...
