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 two-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
