Shop Around

When I became of age

My mother called me to her side

She said "Son you're growing up now

Pretty soon you'll take a bride"

My mother told me take your time

I am gonna fine in the first day

I am gonna fine in the second day

Shop around shop around

When I became of age my mother called me to her side

She said "Son you're growing up now

Pretty soon you'll take a bride"

"Just because you've become a young man now

There's still some things

That you don't understand now

Before you ask some girl for her hand now

Keep your freedom for as long as you can now"

My mama told me you better shop around

Oh yeah you better shop around

Oh there's some things

That I want you to know now

Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now

The women come and

The women are gonna go now

Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now

My mama told me

You better shop around

Oh yeah you better shop around

Promise me you get yourself a bargain son

Don't be sold on the very first one

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen

Gonna find one

Who's gonna give you true loving

Before you get someone and say

"I do" now

Make sure she's love with you now

My mama told me

You better shop around

Cuz i wanna get yourself a bargain son

Don't be sold on the very first one

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen

You gotta find one

Who's gonna give you true loving

Before you got someone and say

"I do" now

Make sure she's in love with you now

Make sure that her love is true now

I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now

My mama told me you better shop around

Oh don't let the first one get you

Oh no 'cause I don't wanna see her with you

Oh before you let 'em hold you tight

Oh make sure she's alright

Oh before you let 'em take your hand my son

Understand my son be a man my son

I know you can my son I love you
