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, there's still somethings 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." (shop, shop around) Ah, there's somethings that I want you to know now. Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now 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, Oh yeah, you better shop around." (shop, shop around) A-try to get yourself a bargain son. Don't be sold on the very first one. A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen, a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'. Before you take a girl and say I do, now, make sure she's in love with-a you now. My mama told me, "You better shop around." Oo yeah, A-try to get yourself a bargain son. Don't be sold on the very first one. A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen, a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'. Before you take a girl and say I do, now, make sure she's in love with-a you now. Make sure that her love is true now. I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now." My mama told me, "You better shop around. (shop around) My mama told me, "You better shop around. (shop around) My mama told me, "You better shop around. (shop around) ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By ROBINSON, SMOKEY/GORDY, BERRY JR Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing |

Nothing you can say, Can tear me away, From my guy.
Nothing you could do, 'Cause I'm stuck like glue, To my guy. I'm sticking to my guy, Like a stamp to a letter, Like birds of a feather, We, stick together, I can tell you from the start, I can't be torn apart from my guy. Nothing you could do, Could make me be untrue, To my guy. (My Guy) Nothing you could buy, Could make me tell a lie, To my guy (My Guy) I gave my guy, My word of honour, To be faithful, And I'm gonna, You'd better be believing, I won't be deceiving, My guy. As a matter of opinion, I think he's tops, My opinion is, He's the cream of the crop, As a matter of taste, To be exact, He's my ideal, As a matter of fact. No muscle bound man, Could take my hand, From my guy. (My guy) No handsome face, Could ever take the place, Of my guy, (My guy) He may not be a movie star, But when it comes to being happy, We are, There's not a man today, Who can take me away, From my guy. No muscle bound man, Could take my hand, From my guy. (My guy) No handsome face, Could ever take the place, Of my guy, (My guy) He may not be a movie star, But when it comes to being happy, We are, There's not a man today, Who can take me away, From my guy. (What'cha say?) There's not a man today, Who could take me away, From my guy. (Tell me more! ) There's not a man today, Who could take me away, From my guy |

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day My cherie amour, distant as a Milky Way My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine In the cafe or sometimes on a crowded street I've been near you, but you never noticed me My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore That behind that little smile I wore How I wish that you were mine La la la la la la, La la la la la la La la la la la la, La la la la la la Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine La la la la la la, La la la la la la La la la la la la, La la la la la la |

It's sad to think we're not gonna be here
And it's gotten to the point Where we just can't fake it For some ungodly reason We just won't let it be I guess neither one of us Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye I keep wondering Wondering What I'm gonna do without you And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too So we go on Go on together Living a lie Because I guess neither one of us Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye Everytime I find the nerve Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving Memories Those old memories get in my way Lord knows it's only me Only know it's me That I'm missing you When it comes to saying good-bye That a simple word that I just cannot say There can be no way There can be no way This can have a happy ending No, no So we just go on Hurting and pretending Convincing ourselves to give it just one more try Because I guess neither one of us Neither one of us wants to be the first to say Neither one of us wants to be the first to say Neither one of us wants to be the first to say Farewell my love Goodbye |

Ooo
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by. I say to myself, you're such a lucky guy. To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true. Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to me. But it was just my 'magination, running away with me. It was just my 'magination, running away with me. (Soon) Soon we'll be married and raise a family. (Oh, yeah) A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three. I tell you, I can visualize it all. This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems. But it was just my 'magination, once again. Running away with me. Tell you it was just my 'magination, Running away with me. Paul: Every night on my knees I pray. Dear Lord, hear my plea. Don't ever let another take her love from me. Or I will surely die. Hmm (Her love is) heavenly. When her arms enfold me. I hear a tender rhapsody. But in reality, she doesn't even know me. Just my 'magination, once again. Running away with me. Oh, tell you it was just my 'magination, Running away with me. I never met her but I can't forget her. Just my 'magination, Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Running away with me. Ooo, just my 'magination running away with me. She's in my mind and hard to find. Just my 'magination... |

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died I never had a chance to see him Never heard nothin' but bad things about him Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone Mama is it true what they say That papa never worked a day in his life? And mama there's some bad talk goin' round town That papa had three out-side children And another wife, and that ain't right Heard some talk about papa Doin' some store-front prechin' Talking about saving souls and all the time leaching Dealin' in dirt and stealing in the name of the Lord Mama looked up and said son Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave? Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal To pay his bills Hey mama, folks say papa wasn't much on thinkin' Spent most of his time chasing women and drinkin' Mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died all he left us was alone |

Thanks for the times that you've given me,
The mem'ries are all in my mind. And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow There's something I must say out loud. You're once, twice, three times a lady, and I love you. Yes, you're once, twice, three times a lady, and I love you. I love you. When we are together the moments I cherish, with every beat of my heart. To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you. There's nothing to keep us apart. You're once, twice, three times a lady, and I love you. I love you |
