Mama Never Told Me 'bout You

The Moffatts

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 tow-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
