Mother Gothel:You want to go outside?
Why, Rapunzel...!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
Rapunzel: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: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:No!
Mother Gothel:Yes!
Rapunzel: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, naive
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
Rapunzel?
Rapunzel:Yes?
Mother Gothel:Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.
Rapunzel:Yes, Mother.
Mother Gothel:I love you very much, dear.
Rapunzel:I love you more.
Mother Gothel:I love you most.
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best
Mother Knows Best (Reprise):
Rapunzel:I think he likes me.
Mother Gothel:Likes you?
Please, Rapunzel, that's demented.
This is why you never should have left
Dear, this whole romance that you've invented
Just proves you're too naive to be here
Why would he like you?
Come on now - really!
Look at you - you think that he's impressed?
Don't be a dummy
Come with mummy
Mother -
Rapunzel:No!
Mother Gothel:No?! Oh. I see how it is.
Rapunzel knows best
Rapunzel's so mature now
Such a clever grown-up miss
Rapunzel knows best
Fine, if you're so sure now
Go ahead, then give him this
This is why he's here!
Don't let him deceive you!
Give it to him, watch, you'll see!
Trust me, my dear
That's how fast he'll leave you
I won't say I told you so - no
Rapunzel knows best!
So if he's such a dreamboat
Go and put him to the test
If he's lying
Don't come crying
Mother knows best...
