My mama told me she said. Just because you've become a young man now. There's still 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. There's some things that I want you to know now. Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now. The women'll come and the women are gonna go now. Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now. My mama told me. You better shop around. Try to get yourself a bargain son. Don't be sold on the very first one. Pretty girls come a dime a dozen. Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving. Before you take a girl and say I do now. Make sure she's in love with you now. Make sure that the love is true now. I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now. My mama told me. You better shop around
