Shop Around Songtext
von The Loading Zone

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"
And then she said
"Just because you′ve become a young man now
Still some things that you don't understand now
'Til you ask some girl for her hand, yeah
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now"

My mama told me
You better shop around, yeah
You better shop around, yeah

Uh-huh-huh, 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 got to go now
'Fore you tell ′em that you love them so now

My mama told me
You better shop around, yeah
You better shop around, yeah


Try to get yourself a bargain, son
But don't be sold on the very first one
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
Try to find one who′s gonna give you soul lovin'
′Fore you take a girl and say "I do" now
Make sure that her love is true, yeah

My mama told me
You better shop around

Hey-hey, hey-hey
You try to get yourself a bargain, son
But don't be sold on the very first one
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
Try to find one who's gonna give you soul lovin′
′Fore you take a girl and say "I do" now
Make sure that her love is true, yeah
Make sure that her— loves you too now
I'd hate to see you feeling sad and blue now

My mama told me
You better shop around, yeah
You better shop around, yeah


Before you let her hold you tight
You better make sure that the little girl′s alright
Before you let her take your hand, my son
Understand, my son
Be a man, my son
A soul man, my son

Come on and get it, yeah, yeah

You better get on down to your store now
You better, you better start shopping, alright
Just check out all the models
Every shape, style
Anything you want, baby
It's all there, just take your time
Alright
Better shop, alright
Woo
Better shop, shop, shop, shop, shop, shop
