Mama didn`t lie, she didn`t lie.
Mama didn`t lie, she didn`t lie.
Here comes that boy and his friends,
Making eyes at me again.
Do they all think that I`m a toy,
To be played with by every boy?
Well, they`re wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye.
My mama didn`t lie. (Mama didn`t lie.) She didn`t lie.
The greatest pastime in this man`s world
Is playin` tricks on every young girl.
To have one is how they get their kick.
But not me because I know their trick.
And they`re wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye.
My mama didn`t lie. (Mama didn`t lie.) She didn`t lie.
Mama didn`t lie, she didn`t lie.
I remember what my mama told me:
She said, Girl stay in your class,
You got a whole lot of growin` and a`learnin` to do
Girl don`t cha go so fast.
The greatest pastime in this man`s world
Is playin` tricks on every young girl.
To have one is how they get their kick.
But no me because I know their trick.
And they`re wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye.
My mama didn`t lie. (Mama didn`t lie) She didn`t lie.
Mama didn`t lie, she didn`t lie.
Mama didn`t. . . .
