My Mother Told Me

My Mother Told Me - Nat King Cole

Written by：Nat King Cole/D.W. George

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 time that I met you

I didn't have a said

I had to buy your dinner

And then I paid your rent

I took you cabaret'n

And bought you fancy clothes

And you kept saying daddy yo

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 anymore

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
