Shop Around

Before you ask some girl for her hand now

My mama told me, "You better shop around"
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen
I'll to find one who's gonna give ya true lovin'
There's still some things that you don't understand now

Before you take a girl and say, "I do now"

And then she said
Whoa yeah you better shop around

Uh huh, before you let 'em hold you tight
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now"
Make sure that her love is true now
My mama told me, "You better shop around"

Uh huh don't let the first one get you
A yeah yeah 'make sure she's alright'
The women come and the women gonna go now
There's some things that I want you to know now
Don't be sold on the very first one
Don't be sold on the very first one
I'll try to find one who's gonna give ya true lovin'
Make sure she's in love with-a you now
A make sure she's in love a with you now
A whoa yeah you better shop around

Uh huh, before you let 'em take your hand my son
I gotta get yourself a bargain son
A just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
My mama told me, "You better shop around"
"Just because you've become a young man now
Before you take a girl and say, "I do now"
Oh no, 'cuz I don't wanna see her with you
I'd hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
You try to get yourself a bargain son
My mama told me, "You better shop around"
