Lyrics

I used to listen when Mama said
Don't let a man get to your head
But tonight when you looked my way
I was helpless, I couldn't look away

You want to dance, well I can't say no
You want to touch, and dance real slow
The way you move, it makes me weak
The way you look, well honey I can't speak

Mama wouldn't like us close like this
Mama would tell me try to resist
Well I could say no, but I don't wanna
Something 'bout you, baby just makes me want to leave my mama

You git eyes that see through me
You got hands, touch me renderly
You got lips that beg to be kissed
You got nerve, comin' on like this

I gotta go, it's gettin' late
You got a smile that makes me wait
I gotta think, I just wish I could
You got a line that sounds so good

Chorus

Mama you've looked out for me, you've always tried to help
Comes a time a girl has got to find out for herself

Chorus
