Never Trust A Man
From the Alligator Records release
From The Heart of A Woman (AL 4724)
By Koko
Taylor
Never Trust A Man (Williams)
Mama told me
That you just can't trust a man
Mama told me
"Girl, don't never trust a man"
But I was wild at the time
People, I just didn't understand
Now that I'm grown
I know what mama was trying to do
She was trying to keep me
From going through what she'd been through
But I was hard-headed and wouldn't listen
So I got my heart broken, too
I been lied to
Misused
And then pushed aside
I can't count the nights
I wished for mama and cried
Mama told me
"Girl, you just can't trust a man"
But I was wild at the time
People, I just didn't understand
At first it was a schoolboy
My first love in the world
I thought I would die
I caught him kissing another girl
Mama told me
"Girl, don't never trust a man"
But I was wild at the time
People, I just didn't understand
(solo)
I been lied to
Misused
And then pushed aside
I can't count the nights
I wished for mama and cried
Mama told me
"Girl, don't never trust a man"
But I was wild at the time
People, I just didn't understand
I know there's good men in the world
But you can count them all on one hand
I'm trying to tell all you girls
And I want you to understand
Now I know mama was right
So don't you ever trust a man
