Lyrics

[00:00.43] When I became of age, my mother called me to her side
[00:04.79] She said, son, you're growing up now,
[00:07.57] pretty soon you'll take a bride
[00:10.32] And then she said
[00:12.29] Just because you've become a young man now
[00:15.55] There's still some things that you don't understand now
[00:19.32] Before you ask some girl for her hand now
[00:22.96] Keep your freedom for as long as you can now
[00:26.55] My mama told me, you better shop around
[00:30.62] Whoa, yeah, you better shop around
[00:34.68] Ah, there's some things that I want you to know now
[00:41.08] Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now
[00:44.73] The women come and the women gonna go now
[00:48.25] Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
[00:51.70] My mama told me, you better shop around
[00:56.74] Whoa, yeah, you better shop around
[01:00.06] Try to get yourself a bargain, son
[01:05.79] Don't be sold on the very first one
[01:09.59] Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
[01:13.23] Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving
[01:16.88] Before you take a girl and say I do now
[01:20.64] Make sure she's in love with you now
[01:24.51] My mama told me, you better shop around
[01:28.64] Oh, yeah
[01:47.14] Try to get yourself a bargain, son
[01:49.78] Don't be sold on the very first one
[01:53.12] Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
[01:57.09] Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving
[02:00.64] Before you take a girl and say I do now
[02:04.39] Make sure she's in love with you now
[02:08.12] Make sure that her love is true now
[02:11.44] I'd hate to see you feeling sad and blue now
[02:15.47] My mama told me, you better shop around
[02:20.67] Oh, don't let the first one getcha
[02:23.29] Oh no, 'cause I don't want to see her with ya
[02:27.25] Uh huh, before you let 'em hold you tight
[02:31.19] Ah, yeah, yeah, make sure she's all right
[02:34.76] Uh huh, before you let her take your hand, my son
[02:38.80] Understand, my son
[02:40.57] Be a man, my son
[02:42.26] I know you can, my son
[02:44.19] I love you
[02:46.60]
