SHOP AROUND
Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson
Recorded by The Miracles, 1960

G C
When I became of age, my mama called me to her side.
A D
She said, Son, you`re growing up now, pretty soon you`ll take a bride.
G
And then she said:


G7 C7
Just because you`ve become a young man now
G7 C7
There`s still some things that you don`t understand, now.
G7 C7
Before you ask some girl for her hand, now,
G7 C7
Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now.
A7 D7 G
My mama told me, You`d better shop around.
C7 G7 D7
Oh yeah, You better shop around.


There`s some things that I want you to know, now.
Just as sure as the wind`s gotta blow, now,
The women come and the women gonna go, now.
Before you tell `em that you love `em so, now,
My mama told me, You`d better shop around.
Oh yeah, You`d better shop around.

C7
Try to get yourself a bargain, son.
G7
Don`t be sold on the very first one.
C7
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
A7 D7
Try to find one who`s gonna give you true lovin`.


Before you take a girl and say I do now,
Make sure she`s in love with you, now.
My mama told me, You`d better shop around.
Oh yeah, you`d better shop around.

(sax solo)

(repeat bridge)


Before you take a girl and say I do now,
Make sure she`s in love with you, now.
Make sure that her love is true, now.
I`d hate to see you feeling sad and blue, now.
My mama told me, You`d better shop around.
Oh yeah, don`t let the first one get you.
`Cause I don`t want to see her with you.
Before you let her hold you tight,
Make sure she`s all right.
Before you let her take your hand, my son
Understand, my son, be a man, my son, I know you can, my son...
