My mama told me, my mama said
Yeah, don't you [E] dare refuse, [F] don't you [D] dare refuse
[Dm] [E]
[F] [Em] [E]
[F] [D] [Dm] [E]
[F] [G] Mama, something [E] happened [Am] today
[D] A boy came up to me who [E] said he'd [Am] lost his way
[Dm] He followed me and gently [E]
held my hand
[D] Tomorrow he said he'd take [E] me to [Am] Sugar Land
Mama said, but [Dm] baby, you're gonna [E]
[F] pay
[Dm] I'm so cold, won't you [E] make the heat [A] in your life
[D] I'm [Dm] crazy, I'm cold, won't you [E] help me
[A] [D] I'm [Dm] so cold, won't you [Bm]
[C] make the heat in your life
Better listen [Bb] to your mama
[Dbm] [D] Cause mama [Bb] sure will [A] know
[D] Better listen [Gm] to your [A] mama
[D] Don't say that you're [Gm]
[A] alone
[Dm] [E]
[F] Better [D] listen to your mama
[Dm] But [E]
[F] [Dm] mama, [Bb] he seemed [D] to be so sweet
When he [Dm] smiled at me, he [E] knocked me off [F] my feet
[D] He only [Dm] wants to kiss and [Bm] hold me [D] close
I must admit, [Dm] I'm weak for [E] him and still [F] in the most
[D] Mama said, but [Dm] baby, you're gonna [E] pay
I'm so [F] [Dm] cold, won't you [E] make the heat [Dm] in your life
I'm crazy, I'm cold, won't [E]
[F] you help me
[D] I'm so [Dm] cold, won't you [Bm]
[D] make the heat in your life
Better listen to [Bb] your mama
[Dbm] [D] Cause mama [Bb] sure will [A] know
[C] [Dm] Better listen to [Gm] your [A] mama
[D] Don't say that you're [Gm]
[A] alone
If [Dm] it were wrong, but Paul, he knows he makes
Every [Ab] tingle in your body quake
Be careful not to lose your soul and soul
Before you know it, he'd have complete [Dm] control
[Am]
[Dm] Run
[A]
He may [C] say it is a [Dm] nectar to his lips
[E] But he could drain you [F] dry of [D] every drip
He'd be the only one [Dm] who'll make you cry
[Bm] And you can do without [C] that, best you [Dm] suicide Run
[E]
[A] [D] [Dm] [E]
[Am] [Dm] [E] Run
[F] [D] Run Run
[Dm] [Bm]
[D] Better listen to [Bb] your mama
[A] [D] Mama [Bb] sure will [A] know
[D] Better listen to [Gm] your mama
[A] [D] Better [Gm]
listen [A] [D] to [Bb] your mama
[Dbm] [C] Mama sure [Gm]
will [A] [C] know
Better listen to [Gm] your mama
