• (bkz: father knows worst)
• fake de olsa ortalama bir türk annesini anlatmakta olan şarkı. çocuk zaten beceriksizdir, annesi olmadan hayatta bile kalamaz.
• sözleri de şöyledir:
  
  [mother gothel, spoken]
  you want to go outside? why, rapunzel...
  look at you, as fragile as a flower
  still a little sapling, just a sprout
  
  (sung)
  you know why we stay up in this tower
  
  [rapunzel, spoken]
  i know, but—
  
  [mother gothel]
  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
  
  [rapunzel, spoken]
  but—
  
  [mother gothel]
  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
  
  [rapunzel, spoken]
  no!
  
  [mother gothel]
  yes!
  
  [rapunzel, spoken]
  but—
  
  [mother gothel]
  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, 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 mumsy
  on your own, you won't survive
  sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy
  please, they'll eat you up alive
  gullible, naïve, positively grubby
  ditzy and a bit, well, hmm, vague
  plus, i believe, gettin' kinda chubby
  i'm just saying 'cause i wuv you
  mother understands, mother's here to help you
  all i have is one request
  
  (spoken)
  rapunzel?
  
  [rapunzel, spoken]
  yes?
  
  [mother gothel, spoken]
  don't ever ask to leave this tower again
  
  [rapunzel, spoken]
  yes, mother
  
  [mother gothel, spoken]
  i love you very much, dear
  
  [rapunzel, spoken]
  i love you more
  
  [mother gothel, spoken]
  i love you most
  
  (sung)
  don't forget it, you'll regret it
  mother knows best;)
