My Mother Told Me

My Mother Told Me - Nat King Cole

My mother told me

There would be some nights like this

My mother told me

Never trust a woman's kiss

My mother told me

'Cause that would be so nice I get it

She took me on the side

And said don't be no fool

When a woman's lips are warm

Son you better play it cool

My mother told me

There would be some nights like this

My mother told me

To Never trust a woman's kiss

The first thime that I met you

I didn't have a chance

I had to buy your dinner

And then I paid your rent

I took you cabaret'n

And bought you fancy clothes

You kept saying daddyo

Won't you buy me some of those

And now I'm on the outside

The lock is on the door

Cause you spent all my money honey

You said you don't want me any more

My mother told me

There would be some nights like this

My mother told me

There would be some nights like this

My mother told me

To never trust a woman's kiss
