"Mama Say No" lyrics

Mama say no
You better think twice
Mama say no
Mama say no
You better think twice
Mama say no

I was livin' on my own
No need for curfew, see, I was grown
Then came Junior, his charm was there
Tall, dark and handsome with wavy hair

If mama say no
You better think twice
If mama say no
Take her advice
If mama say no
You better think twice
If mama say no
Take her advice

You know Junior would say nice things
Like, "Girl, I love you"
"You're the one of my dreams", psych!
He forgot to tell me
He was rough and mean
Enough to give me whiplash
If you know what I mean

Mom always said there was a vibe about him
She couldn't name it, but she knew it was there
Her intentions weren't to hurt or scorn me
I was hers and she really did care

If mama say no
You better think twice
If mama say no
Take her advice
If mama say no
You better think twice
If mama say no
Take her advice
Listen, y'all!

You mama say no
Mama, mama say no
Then you better think
Then you better think twice
Mama say no
Take her advice
Mama say no
You better think twice
Mama say no
Take her advice
Cousin!

What if my mama say no
What if my mama say no
Honor your mother and father
What
That it might be well with you
Cousins, sing one more time

What if my mama say no
What if my mama say no
What if my mama say no
What if my mama say no

Mama say no
You better think twice
Mama say no
So, take her advice
Mama say no
You better think twice
My mama said no
I'm gonna take her advice

Mama say, mama say
I'm gonna think twice
See, mama say no
I'll take her advice
'Cause she'll still speak, my mama
You better listen to mama, listen!

When mama say no
And she really say no
Then you better think
Then you better think twice
If mama say no
Take her advice
If mama say no
You better think twice
If mama say no
Take her advice...
