Mama Didn't Lie

Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie

Here comes that boy and his friends
Making eyes at me again
Do they all think that I'm a toy?
To be played with by every boy?

Well, they're wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye

My mama didn't lie (mama didn't lie, no), she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie

The greatest pastime in this man's world
Is playin' tricks on every young girl
To have one is how they get their kicks
But not me, because I know their tricks

Well, they're wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye

My mama didn't lie (mama didn't lie, no), she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie

I remember when my mama told me
She said: Girl, stay in your class
You got a whole lot of learnin' and a-growin' to do
Girl don't cha go so fast

The greatest pastime in this man's world
Is playin' tricks on every young girl
To have one is how they get their kicks
But no me because I know their tricks

Well, they're wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye

My mama didn't lie (mama didn't lie, no), she didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
