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

And then she said Just because you've become a young man now

There's still somethings 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

Shop shop

Oh yeah you better shop around

Shop shop around

Ah there's somethings that I want you to know now

Just as sure as the winds gonna 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 better shop around

Shop shop

Oh yeah you better shop around

Shop shop around

A-try to get yourself a bargain son

Don't be sold on the very first one

A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen

A-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-a you now

My mama told me You better shop around

Ooh yeah a-try to get yourself a bargain son

Don't be sold on the very first one

A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen

A-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-a you now

Make sure that her love is true now

I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now

My mama told me You better shop around

Shop shop

Don't let the first one get you

Oh no 'cause I don't want to see her with you

Uh huh before you let her hold you tight ah yeah make sure she's alright

Uh huh before you let her take your hand my son

Understand my son be a man my son I know you can my son I love you
