Mama Didn't Lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Here comes that
Boy and his friends
Making eyes at me again
Do they all think that I'm a toy
To be played with by every boy
Well, they're wrong to think
I will be caught by
The wink of an eye
My mama didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
The greatest pastime
In this man's world
Is playing tricks
On every young girl
To have one is how
They get their kicks
But not me because
I know their tricks
And they're wrong to think
I will be caught by
The wink of an eye
My mama didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
I remember what my mama told me
She said, girl, stay in your class
You got a whole lot of
Growing and a learning to do
So, girl, don't you go so fast
The greatest pastime
In this man's world
Is playing tricks
On every young girl
To have one is how
They get their kicks
But not me because
I know their tricks
And they're wrong to think
I will be caught by
The wink of an eye
My mama didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Here comes that
Boy and his friends
Making eyes at me again
Do they all think that I'm a toy
To be played with by every boy
Well, they're wrong to think
I will be caught by
The wink of an eye
My mama didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
The greatest pastime
In this man's world
Is playing tricks
On every young girl
To have one is how
They get their kicks
But not me because
I know their tricks
And they're wrong to think
I will be caught by
The wink of an eye
My mama didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
I remember what my mama told me
She said, girl, stay in your class
You got a whole lot of
Growing and a learning to do
So, girl, don't you go so fast
The greatest pastime
In this man's world
Is playing tricks
On every young girl
To have one is how
They get their kicks
But not me because
I know their tricks
And they're wrong to think
I will be caught by
The wink of an eye
My mama didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
