Story Behind The Song

I was on a road gig in Alaska from California in Aug & Sept. 1978 and met a man the 4th week of a 6-week engagement. We kissed that night, dated, and I moved into his condo for the remaining 210 days of my stay. We fell madly in love after only 10 days and nights together, and when it was time for me to leave and go back home and try to explain to my "boyfriend back home" that I was going to return, all I could say to the Alaska man was "Mama NEVER told me it would be like THIS, dammit !" Making it a very tough decision for myself and2 other men...I chose Alaska eventually!!!

Lyrics

(v-1)
When I first saw you that autumn night I wanted to Make your acquaintance
So I mosied on over to where you were and said "Baby do you want to get up and dance?"
When we got out on the floor
Everybody wanted to see some more
Little did they know
That was the start of our romance
(v-2)
Mama never told me that you'd be the one I would always satisfy
You got that crazy kind of something that always seems to keep me electrified
I'm glad I found you when I did
You'll always be number one on my list
But Honey Mama never told me It would be like this...
(ch)
Mama never told me it would be like this
Mama never told me about your kiss
Mama never new you were someone I could not resist
Well Mama never told me
Non, no mama never told me
Mama never told me
It would be like this...
(V-3)
If we could run away forever or just for a day
Well we'd run up to the sky
And we'd dance in the Heavens like the Northern Lights
Till it's time for us to die
My love, it's only Love that I have
And something that I would not have missed
Bu honey Mama never told me
It would be like THIS!
