[Chorus]
Well, my mama done told me to leave you girls alone, hmm hmm
My mama done told me to leave you girls alone
But my head was so high, I had to find out on my own

[Verse 1]
She said a woman, oh, she said a woman
Is the stickiest thing alive
She's gonna fill your heart with gladness
And gonna spread your head with jive
She's gonna treat you sweet and gentle
And gonna stick by your side
She's gonna always talk so nicely
Until you take her for your bride

[Chorus]
Mama done told me, leave 'em little girls alone
But my head was so high, I had to find out on my, my, my own

[Verse 2]
Well, shе said Delilah betrayed Samson
And was thе cause of him being blind
She said that Adam never touched the apple
Until Eve had changed his mind
Cleopatra betrayed Caesar
When she fed him her jive and lime
But I don't want to woman
Mistreatin' no son of mine

[Chorus]
Mama done told me, leave the little girls alone
But my head was so high, I had to find out on my, my, my own
