Mama, You Told Me

Mama, you told me

Now girl, you better keep your knickers on

Ah-huh-huh

Oh, and mama, you told me

Never trust a boy with no heart on

Yes, you did

Well, I loved every boy who came with candy and toys

They whisper sweet nothings like, "Hand me some kisses and joys"

They took all my sugar, left me crying alone

Well, mama, you told me

Now girl, you better lock your heart up tight

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, and mama, you told me

You better find a man who treats you right

Ah-huh-huh

Well, I found me a man who beat me all of the time

He took all my money and cheated me so it's a crime

Now he's up and left me, left me crying tonight

Oh, mama

Yeah mama, you told me

Now girl, you better lock your heart up tight

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, and mama, you told me

You better find a man who treats you right

Ah-huh-huh

Well, I found me a man who beat me all of the time

He took all my money and cheated me so it's a crime

Now he's up and left me, left me crying tonight

Oh, mama
