Shop Around lyrics

Spoken:

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`.

Sings:

And then she said -
`Just because you`ve become a young man now
(Man, now)
There`s still some things that you don`t understand now
(Son, now)
Before you ask some girl for her hand now
(My son)
`Keep your freedom for as long as you can now`

My mama told me, `You better shop around`
(Shop, shop around) a whoa-yeah
You better (uh-huh) shop around
(Shop-shop around)

Uh-uh-uh

``There`s some things that I want you to know now`
(Uh-huh-ooo)
`A just as sure as the winds gonna blow now`
(Uh-huh-ooo)
`The women come and the women gonna go now`
(Uh-huh-ooo)
Before you tell `em that you love `em so now

My mama told me, `You better shop around`
(Shop, shop around) whoa-yeah
You better (uh-huh) shop around
(Shop, shop around)

`A gotta get yourself a bargain son`
`Don`t be sold on the very first one`
`Pretty girls come a dime a dozen`
`A-try to find one who`s gonna give ya true lovin`
(Uh-huh-ooo)

`Before you take a girl and say `I do, now`
(Uh-huh)
`A make sure she`s in love a with you now`
My mama told me, (`you better shop around)

Instrumental

Oh-hey-hey-hey

(ooooh)
`Try to get yourself a bargain son`
`Don`t be sold on the very first one`
(First one, first one)
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen
A try to find one who`s gonna give ya true lovin`
(Uh-huh-ooo)

`Before you take a girl and say, `I do` now` (uh-huh)
`Make sure she`s in love with-a you now` (uh-huh)
`Make sure that her love is true now` (uh-huh)
`I`d hate to see you feelin` sad and blue now`

My mama told me, `You better shop around`
(Shop, shop around)

Uh-huh don`t let the first one get you`
(Shop, shop around)
Oh no, cuz I don`t wanna see her `wich-you``
(Uh-huh, `before you let `em hold you tight`
A yeah-yeah `make sure she`s alright`

Uh-huh, `before you let `em take your hand my son`
`Understand my son`
`Be a man my son`
`I know you can my son`
FADES-
