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 rememb er, 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 nev er told me 'bout you
  She never told me 'bout you
  Mama never told me 'bout you
  She never told me 'bout you
