When I became of age
My mother called me to her side
Son your growing up now
Pretty soon you'll take a bride now
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 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
Good-looking 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 he's in love with you 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
Good-looking 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 he'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
