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 talked a lot, but mama never told me ’bout you
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
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
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
