Intro
When I Became Of Age My Mother Called Me To Her Side
She Said, 'Son, You're Growing Up Now, Pretty Soon You'll Take A Bride.'
A1
And Then She Said, 'Just Because You've Become A Young Man Now
There's Still Some Things That You Don't Understand Now
Before You Ask Some Girl For Her Hand Now
Keep Your Freedom For As Long As You Can Now.'
My Mama Told Me, 'You Better Shop Around.'
Oh, Yeah, You Better Shop Around
A2
Oh, There's Some Things That I Want You To Know Now
Just As Sure As The Wind's Gonna Blow Now
The Women Come And The Women Gonna Go Now
Before You Tell 'Em That You Love 'Em So Now
My Mama Told Me, 'You Better Shop Around.'
Yeah, You Better Shop Around
B
Try To Get Yourself A Bargain, Son
Don't Be Sold On The Very First One
Ah, Pretty Girls Come A Dime A Dozen
Try To Find You One Who's Gonna Give You True Lovin'
C2
Before You Take A Girl And Say 'I Do' Now
Make Sure She's In Love With You Now
My Mama Told Me, 'You Better Shop Around.'
Instruments
Sax Solo
C2
Before You Take A Girl 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 Feeling Sad And Blue Now
My Mama Told Me, 'You Better Shop Around.'
Ending [Adblib]
Oh, Don’t Let The First One Get You
Oh No Cause I Don’t Wanna Seer Her With You
Oh Before You Let Her Hold You Tight
Oh Make Sure She’s Alright
Oh Before You Let Her Take Your Hand My Son
Understand My Son Be A Man My Son
I Know You Can My Son
