Mama taught me things every girl gets taught

'Bout actin' like a lady and the things you ought

To know from day to day, what to do, and what to say

Ordinary basic rules

Like keep your legs together when you're wearin' a skirt

And never let a boy look down your shirt

And never talk dirty and never, ever flirt

Well, where did she go to school? Saint Innocent?

Mama never said a word about that

How kissin' and a-huggin' makes your heart beat fast

'Bout lookin' at the stars, lyin' on your back

Not one word about that

No, Mama never told me nothin' 'bout how

Love can make you crazy, make you go "wow! "

Hormones ragin', get you all out of whack

She never said a word about that

No, Mama never said a word about that

Mama told me what to do and what not

Said a lot of things that didn't mean squat

When I saw you, it all went to pot

The rules went out the door

Mama never said how you just can't sleep

Can't stay off the phone, no desire to eat

Everything she said don't apply to me

I guess that's what mamas are for

Mama never said a word about that

All the little things I never thought to ask

Things I didn't know, and neither did she, evidently

About passion and desire and all of the rest

Feelin's that you're gettin' from the opposite sex

I guess my sweet mama did her motherly best

But she never said a word about that

No, she never a word about that

Weak in the knees

I can't think straight

The birds and the bees

Will just have to wait

We'll just learn it as we go

What else do we need to know?

Uh-oh, ooh, woah

Mama never said a word about that

How kissin' and a-huggin' makes your heart beat fast

Lookin' at the stars, lyin' on your back

Not one word about that

Oh, Mama never told me nothin' 'bout how

Fallin' in love can make your heart go "wow! "

Hormones ragin', get you all out of whack

She never said a word about that

No, we never, never, never talked about that

No, Mama never said a word about that

Mama

Mama

Never said a word

Mama never said a word

Mama never said a word about that

Mama

Mama

Never said a word

Mama never said a word

Mama never said a word about that

Oh, you know, I never would listen anyway

Nice talk!

Ha ha
