When I became of age
My mother called me to her side
She said, “Doll, you’re growing up now
Pretty soon you’ll be a bride”
And then she said
“Just because you’ve become a young girl, now
Don’t let a fella but you in a whirl, now
Before you give some boy your hand, now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now”
My mama told me
“You better shop around (Shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around” (Shop, shop, mm, bop)
“Ayy, just a thing that I want you to know, now
Just as sure as the wind’s gonna blow, now
The men they come and the men gonna go, now
Beforе you tell him that you love him so, now”
My mama told me
“You bеtter shop around, (Shop, shop, shop)
Oh yeah, you better shop around, uh huh (Shop, shop, bop)
“Try to find yourself a bargain girl
Don’t get your heart caught up in a whirl
Handsome boys come a dime a dozen
Try to find one who’s gonna give you true lovin'”
