Mother Knows Best Meaning

[[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]
