Mama said "don't go near that river wearin' that Sunday dress"
|
I spent a lot of money on the pretty little thing so you better not get it wet"
|
But I couldn't help but wanna jump right in when I felt that summer sun beat down
|
I did what she said, I didn't get it wet
|
I left it on the muddy ground
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Mama said don't
|
I swore that I won't
|
But every time mama said don't
|
I did
|
|
Mama said "don't you waste your time girl chasing a boy like that"
|
If he's the kind of trouble that his daddy was
|
He'll break your heart in no time flat"
|
And don't you fall for that up to something, crooked good for nothin' grin"
|
But when he pulled up in his red S-10 I couldn't help but jump right in
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Mama said don't
|
I swore that I won't
|
But every time mama said don't
|
I did
|
|
Every time I try to prove her wrong, she always ends up right
|
But it just wouldn't be like me
|
If I didn't put up a fight
|
|
Mama said don't [x4]
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Mama said don't
|
I swore that I won't
|
But every time mama said don't
|
Yeah every time mama said don't
|
Every time mama said don't
|
I did
|
|
Mama said "don't go near that river wearing that Sunday dress"
|
But I did
|
|
Mama said "don't you waste your time girl chasing a boy like that"
|
But I did
|
Yeah I did
|
