Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie.
|
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie.
|
Here comes that boy and his friends,
|
Making eyes at me again.
|
Do they all think that I'm a toy,
|
To be played with by every boy?
|
Well, they're wrong to think I
|
Will be caught by the wink of an eye.
|
My mama didn't lie. (Mama didn't lie.) She didn't lie.
|
|
The greatest pastime in this man's world
|
Is playin' tricks on every young girl.
|
To have one is how they get their kick.
|
But not me because I know their trick.
|
And they're wrong to think I
|
Will be caught by the wink of an eye.
|
My mama didn't lie. (Mama didn't lie.) She didn't lie.
|
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie.
|
|
I remember what my mama told me:
|
She said, "Girl stay in your class,
|
You got a whole lot of growin' and a'learnin' to do
|
Girl don't cha go so fast.
|
|
The greatest pastime in this man's world
|
Is playin' tricks on every young girl.
|
To have one is how they get their kick.
|
But no me because I know their trick.
|
And they're wrong to think I
|
Will be caught by the wink of an eye.
|
My mama didn't lie. (Mama didn't lie) She didn't lie.
|
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie.
|
Mama didn't. . . .
