Mother Lyrics

Cover art for Mother lyrics by Tori Amos

I think it's about a girl who's getting married (he's gonna change my name), and the part about the dancing, I think, is about her time as a free woman. She still wants to be able to do things on her own. (mother, the car is here) is how it's time for her to leave home. "Here here here now don't cry You raised your hand for the assignment" is about how the girl agreed to get married and there's no going about. But that's just my opinion.
