clarence reid - shop around lyrics
[intro]
y’all, i remember the day
my mother called me to her side
she said “son, you’re growing up now”
“and pretty soon you’re gonna take a bride”
that’s when she told me somethin’ like this
i want you to listen to me
[verse 1]
just because you’ve become a young man now
there’s still some things that you don’t understand, now
before you go and ask some girl for her hand, now
keep your freedom just as long as you can, now
[chorus]
my mama told me
you better shop around
(shop around, you better look around) hey
you better shop around (here, there, everywhere)
ow!
[verse 2]
now there’s some things that i want you to know, now
the wind comes and the wind’s gonna blow, now
the women come and the womens gonna go, now
but before you tell ’em that you love ’em so, now
[chorus]
(my mama told me) she said “son, you better shop around”
(shop around) hey!
[verse 3]
you got to get yourself a bargain, son
and don’t get sold on the very first one
tell ’em, y’all
pretty girls come a dime a dozen
but you got to find one
who’s gonna sock some true lovin’
[verse 4]
before you take her hand and say “i do”, now
make sure she’s in love with you, now
make sure that her love is true, now
i hate to see you feelin’ sad and blue, now
[chorus]
my mama told me “you better shop around”
(shop around, you better look around) ow!
you better shop around (here, there, everywhere)
hey, uh, ha!
[bridge]
(uh+huh, mmm+hmm) she said “son”
“but don’t be lookin’ on street corners, though”
“may find somethin’ you ain’t lookin’ for” (uh+huh, mmm+hmm)
(uh+huh, mmm+hmm) oh!
[chorus]
my mama told me “you better shop around”
(shop around, you better look around) oh yeah
you better shop around (here, there, everywhere)
[verse 5]
before you take her hand and say “i do”, now
make sure she’s in love with you, now
make sure that her love is true, now
i hate to see you feelin’ sad and blue, now
[chorus]
my mama told me “you better shop around”
(shop around, you better look around) hey!
she said i better shop around (here, there, everywhere)
[outro]
said “do what you wanna”, hah!
(shop around, you better look around)
but don’t look on street corners (here, there)
