Lyrics: Mama Never Told Me 'bout You

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 ne ver 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
