Sister Sledge - We Are Family - The Essential Sister Sledge

Mama Never Told Me

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop (shoo-bee-doo)
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop (shoo-bee-doo)
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo

Mama sure made sure
I was prepared for just about any kind of line
That the guys would try
Yeah, I sure learned a lot
But somehow she forgot all about the guys
With the tender eyes
Who could steal your mind

Mama never told me about the quiet men
Mama never warned me, no
Look out for the quiet men
So shy (so shy), so bashful (bashful), it's a part of the master plan
Mama never told me look out for the quiet men
Mama never warned me, no
Look out for the quiet men
Sing along now

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop (shoo-bee-doo)
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop (shoo-bee-doo)
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo (yeah, yeah)

Yeah
Hey
Ooh, yeah, my mama never told me

Mama did her best now
(I do believe)
But she forgot to tell me that the world runs deep (yeah)
Well, I'm falling in well (so far, so good)
Well, I ask myself, could it be somehow I misunderstood

'Cause mama never told me about the quiet men
Mama never warned me, no
Look out for the quiet men
So shy (so shy), so bashful (bashful), it's a part of the master plan
Mama never told me look out for the quiet men
Mama couldn't help herself
'Cause my daddy was a quiet man
Sing along now

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo

Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop (shoo-bee-doo)
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo, bop, bop (shoo-bee-doo)
Shoo-bee-doo, bop, bop
Shoo-bee-doo, bop (yeah), shoo-bee-doo (hey)
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo

Mama never told me
Mama never told me
Hey, whoo!
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo
