Mother Knows Best

You want to go outside?
 Why, Rapunzel
 Look at you, as fragile as a flower
 Still a little sappling
 Just a sprout
 You know why we stay up in this tower
 I know, but-
 That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
 Guess I always knew this day was coming
 Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
 Soon, but not yet
 But-
 Shh, trust me pet
 Mother knows best
 Mother knows best
 Listen to your mother
 It's 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!
 (No!) Yes! (But-)
 Also, large bugs!
 Men with pointy teeth, and...
 Stop!
 No more, you'll just upset me
 Mother's right here
 Mother will protect you
 Darling, here's 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, I'm just your mother and 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 it's too late, you'll see
 Just wait
 Mother knows best
 Mother knows best
 Take it from your mumzie
 On your own, you won't survive
 Sloppy! Underdressed!
 Immature! Clumsy!
 Please, they'll eat you up alive!
 Gullible! Naive!
 Positively grubby! Ditzy!
 And a bit, well, hmm, vague!
 Plus, I believe, getting kinda chubby
 I'm just saying 'cause I love you
 Mother understands
 Mother's here to help you
 All I have is one request...
 ♪
 Rapunzel?
 Yes?
 Don't ever ask to leave this tower, again
 Yes Mother.
 I love you very much dear
 I love you more
 I love you most
 Don't forget it
 You'll regret it
 Mother knows best
