Mama said, "Girl, that boy'll try to hold your hand
Try to be tough, like a man
Always tease you around his friends"

"Girl, that boy is gonna try to kiss you
And do things you can't rush into
Whisper words that might be half-true"

"He's gonna make you mad and act a fool
'Cause he's got a lot of growin' up to do
And you're gonna be his everything to lose
'Cause he's got a heart that's made for lovin' you"

"Girl, that boy'll try to change your name
Be your rock, like his grandma's ring
Put a fairy tale to shame"

"Girl, that boy is gonna want a son
And if it's a girl, he'll come undone
He'll be beggin' for another one"

"He's gonna make you mad and act a fool
'Cause he's got a lot of growin' up to do
And you're gonna be his evеrything to lose
'Cause he's got a hеart that's made for lovin' you"

"He's gonna make you mad and act a fool
'Cause he's got a lot of growin' up to do
And you're gonna be his everything to lose
'Cause he's got a heart that's made for lovin' you"

Mama said, "Girl, that boy's got a love that lasts
How do I know? I'm glad you asked
Girl, that boy, he was your dad"
