My mama told me there'd be lots of guys

Who look at me and start to makin' eyes
(Wha-ooh-ooh)
And then they squeeze and wanna hold you tight
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And say they love you both-a day and night

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

(Wha, ooh, ooh)
And then I met a guy whose name was Joe
(Wha, ooh, ooh)
He told me, "Baby I've got lots of dough"
(Wha, ooh, ooh)

So if you just come along with me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
We'll go places, just you wait and see

I should have listened
(To what my mama told me)
Yes, I should have listened
(To what my mama told me)

To what a-mama told me ye-ah
(To what my mama told me)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
A-but I didn't believe a-what she said

(My mama, mama, mama, mama)
Oh, ooh, ho, ooh yeah

Yes, that's what she told me
(My mama, mama, mama, mama)
A-but I didn't believe a-what she said

(Wha, ooh, ooh)
Well that all happened such a long time ago
(Wha, ooh, ooh)
I've learned my lesson and a-now I know
(Wha, ooh, ooh)

I should have listened to what my mama said
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
But I thought I knew everything instead

He ran around
(I should have listened to what my mama told me)
Yes, with every girl in town
(I should have listened to what my mama told me)

Yes, he put me down
(I should have listened to what my mama told me)
Played me for a clown
(I should have listened to what my mama told me)

Oh, ooh, yeah
(I should have listened to what my mama told me
I should have listened to what my mama told me)

Yeah, now, now
Yeah

I should have listened to what my mama told me
I should have listened to what my mama told me
I should have listened to what my mama told me
Oh, o, mommy, mommy, yeah
