Mama taught me things every girl gets taught
‘Bout actin’ like a lady and the things you ought
To know from day to day, what to do, and what to say
Ordinary basic rules
Like keep your legs together when you’re wearin’ a skirt
And never let a boy look down your shirt
And never talk dirty and never, ever flirt
Well, where did she go to school? Saint Innocent?
Mama never said a word about that
How kissin’ and a-huggin’ makes your heart beat fast
‘Bout lookin’ at the stars, lyin’ on your back
Not one word about that
No, Mama never told me nothin’ ’bout how
Love can make you crazy, make you go “wow!”
Hormones ragin, get you all out of whack
She never said a work about that
No, Mama never said a word about that
Mama told me what to do and what not
Said a lot of things that didn’t mean squat
When I saw you, it all went to pot
The rules went out the door
Mama never said how you just can’t sleep
Can’t stay off the phone, no desire to eat
Everything she said don’t apply to me
I guess that what’s mamas are for
Mama never said a word about that
All the little things I never thought to ask
Things I didn’t know, and neither did she evidently
About passion and desire and all of the rest
Feelin’s that you’re gettin’ from the opposite sex
I guess my sweet mama did her motherly best
But she never said a word about that
No, she never a word about that
Weak in the knees
I can’t think straight
The birds and the bees
Will just have to wait
We’ll just learn it as we go
What else do we need to know?
Uh-oh, ooh, woah!
Mama never said a word about that
How kissin’ and a-huggin’ makes your heart beat fast
Lookin’ at the stars, lyin’ on your back
Not one word about that
Oh, Mama never told me nothin’ ’bout how
Fallin’ in love can make your heart go “wow!”
Hormones ragin, get you all out of whack
She never said a work about that
No, we never, never, never talked about that
No, Mama never said a word about that
Mama
Mama
Never said a word
Mama never said a word
Mama never said a word about that
Mama
Mama
Never said a word
Mama never said a word
Mama never said a word about that
Aw, you know, I never would listen anyway!
Nice talk!
