My Mama Told Me Songtext / Lyric

Oh, yeah
My mama told me
Oh, yeah
Yeah

My mama told me there’d be lots of guys
Who look at me and start to makin’ eyes
And then squeeze you while they hold you tight
And say they love you both the day and night

And so you (Better be careful)
Oh, yeah (Better be careful)
Yes, that’s what she told me (Better be careful)
Or you’re gonna miss out on a lot of fun

And then I met a guy whose name was Joe
He told me, “Baby, I’ve got lots of dough”
So baby, just come along with me
We’ll go places, just you wait and see

I should have listened (To what mama told me)
Yes, I should have listened (To what mama told me)
To what my mama told me (To what mama told me)
But I didn’t believe a word she said

Oh...ho...yeah
Yes, that’s what she said me
But I didn’t believe a word she said

Well, that all happened such a long time ago
I learned a lesson and now I know
I should have listened to what my mama said
But I thought that I knew everything in his head

He ran around
Yes, with every girl in town
Yes, he put me down
Played me for a clown
Whoa, yes, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Yes, child now, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh
