Don't Let Him Shop Around
I cried all night long when I
Found out what your mama told you
My mama said, don't cry now, girl
I'm gonna tell you what to do
And then she said, don't wait
Til he makes up his mind now
Put down your foot and
Get him in line now
Let him know that
You can't wait around now
You've been his girl
For a long, long time now
My mama told me
Don't let him shop around
Oh, no, don't let him shop around
(Don't you let him)
You know a good man
Is hard to find now
Since you've got me
Just say no now
You know they say
That love is blind now
He's been fooling you
A long, long time now
My mama told me
Don't let him shop around
Oh, no, don't let him shop around

Better make him yield now
It's up to you, girl
To make him see

You've got to figure out
How to knock him off his feet now
