Lyrics
MAMMA NEVER TOLD ME
(verse) Mamma warned me about strangers with candy
Showed me some moves that have come in handy
Said, "Hold your head up, don't stare at your shoes"
Taught me how to set tables and which fork to use
Later she showed me how to cook and sew
She taught me all I would need to know
(chorus) But, my MAMMA NEVER TOLD ME
Some day, I would fall in love
My MAMMA NEVER TOLD ME
There could be a man like you
(verse) I grew up with no Daddy to hold me
And be the rock that a Daddy can be
Never had a clue love could be like this
Or, I would not have resisted your kiss
Help me make up for the time I've wasted
And taste the thrills I could have tasted
(repeat chorus) 'Cause, my MAMMA ---
(bridge) Single moms do their very best
They work hard with little rest
And teach their kids all they can
All they can - without a man
(repeat chorus)
(tag) Mamma taught me how to cook and sew
Taught me all I would need to know
But, MAMMA NEVER TOLD ME
There could be a man like you
No, my MAMMA NEVER TOLD ME
