Just because you've become a young woman now There's still some things that you don't understand now Before you ask some guy for his hand now Keep your freedom for as long as you can now My mama told me You better shop around
There's some things that I want you to know now Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now The men'll come and the men are gonna go now Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now My mama told me You better shop around
Try to get yourself a bargain, girl Don't be sold on the very first one Good-looking guys come a dime a dozen Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving
Before you take a man and say I do now Make sure he's in love with you now Make sure that his love is true now I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now My mama told me You better shop around
