Tick tock the clock's moving slow

Living room's spotless got to put on a show

Heart's racing fast but I'll never let it show

Mother-in-law's coming oh I hope she'll say hello

I've cooked three dishes from the recipe book

Checked them all twice gave 'em one final look

Pray she likes my taste and won't give me that crook

Feeling like a fish dangling by the hook

Anxious anticipation every time the door swings

Hope my effort sparkles like the diamond on my ring

Tonight I'll be perfect this feeling's got a sting

But for her approval I'd do anything

Dressed in my best

Lipstick on just right

Adjust the table again under the light

One last breath gotta keep my nerves tight

All for her smile that makes everything bright

I hear her car pull up my heart skips a beat

Straighten my dress make sure I look neat

Butterflies dancing I can feel the heat

And here she comes now stepping off the street

Anxious anticipation every time the door swings

Hope my effort sparkles like the diamond on my ring

Tonight I'll be perfect this feeling's got a sting

But for her approval I'd do anything
