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...
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
