Mama Told Me lyrics
[Intro:]
(Hoo... hey)
(Hey...)
(Oh, ho...)
(Yeah)
[Verse 1:]
I see the way that you're walkin' and I can't explain it
You in them tight blues somethin' about you
Curvin' and kickin' them hips and thighs, I can't believe my eyes, tell me is this true?
(Ho whoa)
[B-Section:]
(You wanna talk about dream type)
(She's the type of chick you take home with)
(That's the type of chick she was)
I couldn't see it, (no), I couldn't believe it, (no), I thought she'd do me right
[Chorus:]
I didn't know
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(She would play with my mind)
But I should've known
Mama told me she would play with my mind
I though she was a runway girl who wouldn't break my heart
From the very, very start she had it all fell apart, I should've
I should've listened when she said
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(She would play with my mind)
[Verse 2:]
Them type of girls ain't gon' never do you right
That's what she told me
I just could not see
I'm such a sucker for lips and hips I couldn't think of it, her eyes are mesmerizin' yeah
(Ho whoa)
[B-Section:]
(You wanna talk about dream type)
Dream type chick yeah
(She's the type of chick you take home with)
Ooh hoo yeah
(That's the type of chick she was)
I couldn't see it, (no), I couldn't believe it, (no), I thought she'd do me right yeah
[Chorus:]
I didn't know
(I was such a fool for her)
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(My mama told me she would yeah...)
But I should've known
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(I shoulda known better)
I though she was a runway girl who wouldn't break my heart
(Oh ho, oh ho)
From the very, very start she had it all fell apart
(It all fell apart I should've)
I should've
I should've listened when she said
(Yeah, when she told me)
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(My mind)
[Bridge:]
(You wanna talk about dream type)

[Chorus:]
I didn't know
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(See my mama told me she would and she did)
But I should've known
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(Oh ho, ho...)
I though she was a runway girl who wouldn't break my heart
(Oh ho, ho...)
From the very, very start she had it all fell apart
