歌词
[Intro]
When I became of age
My mother called me to her side
She said, "Son, you're growing up now
Pretty soon you'll take a bride"
And then she said
[Verse 1]
"Just because you've become a young man now (Man now)
There's still some things that you don't understand now (Ooh-ooh, 'stand now)
Before you ask some girl for her hand now (Ooh-ooh, hand now)
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now" (Ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
My mama told me, "You'd better shop around" (Wah-doo-wah-doo-wop, shop shop around)
Ah-whoa yeah, you'd better shop around (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
[Verse 2]
Uh-uh-huh, there's some things that I want you to know now
Ah-just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now
The women come and the women gonna go now
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
[Chorus]
My mama told me, "You'd better shop around" (Wah-doo-wah-doo-wop, shop, shop around)
Woah yeah, you'd better shop around (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
[Verse 3]
Ah-try to get yourself a bargain, son
Don't be sold on the very first one
Ah-pretty girls come a dime a dozen
Ah-try to find one who's gonna give you true loving
Before you take a girl and say "I do" now
Ah-make sure she's in love with ah-you now
[Chorus]
My mama told me, "You'd better shop around"
[Bridge]
Oh, hey, hey
Try to get yourself a bargain, son
Don't be sold on the very first one
Ah-pretty girls come a dime a dozen
Ah-try to find one who's gonna give you true loving
Before you take a girl and say "I do" now
Make sure she's in love with you now
Make sure that her love is true now
I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now
[Chorus]
My mama told me, "You'd better shop around" (Wah-doo-wah-doo-wop, shop, shop around)
Uh-huh, don't let the first one get you (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
[Outro]
Oh no, 'cause I don't wanna see her with you (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
Uh-huh, before you let 'em hold you tight (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
Ah yeah, yeah, make sure she's alright (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
Uh-huh, before you let 'em take your hand, my son (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
Understand, my son, be a man, my son (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
I know you can, my son, I love you (Uh-uh-huh, shop, shop around)
