She said, Just because you've become a young man now There's just some things that you don't understand now Before you ask some girl for her hand now Keep your freedom for as long as you can now
My mama told me You better shop around Ohh You better shop around
Heyy There's some things that I want you to know now Just as sure how the wind's gonna blow now The women'll come and the women gonna go now Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
My mama told me You better shop around Oh yeah You better shop around
Heyy Gotta get yourself a bargain, son Don't be sold on the very first one Pretty girls coming dime a dozen Try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'
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
My mama told me You better shop... around.. Ohhh...
