Mama always told me don't play in the street
Never talk to strangers and look before you leap
She had a list a mile long, what I should and shouldn't do
Mama talked a lot, but Mama never told me 'bout you
Oh, she tried to warn me 'bout the ways of the world
But she never said nothin' 'bout a tow-headed girl
Guess I shoulda gone to Daddy, cause Mama never knew
Yeah, Mama talk a lot, but Mama never old me 'bout you
CHORUS:
Mama never mentioned
The way I'd feel
Fallin' for you
Head over heels
But Mama never met ya
So she didn't have a clue
Yeah, Mama talked a lot
But Mama never told me 'bout you
She taught me right from wrong and to wash behind my ears
So much to remember, it's hard to keep it clear
I know she meant well, but she missed a thing or two
Oh, maybe she forgot, but Mama never told me 'bout you
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Maybe she forgot, but Mama never told me 'bout you
Yeah, Mama talked a lot, but Mama never told me 'bout you
She never told me 'bout you
Mama never told me 'bout you
She never told me 'bout you
