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 never said nothin' 'bout a toe-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

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
