Shop Around

Before you ask some girl for her hand now

Make sure that her love is true now

"Just because you've become a young man now
And then she said
I'll to find one who's gonna give ya true lovin'

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

I'll try to find one who's gonna give ya true lovin'
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
My mama told me, "You better shop around"
A pretty girls come a dime a dozen
Oh no, 'cuz I don't wanna see her with you
Don't be sold on the very first one
Uh huh, before you let 'em hold you tight
There's some things that I want you to know now
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen
My mama told me, "You better shop around"

I gotta get yourself a bargain son
Don't be sold on the very first one

Whoa yeah you better shop around
A whoa yeah you better shop around
My mama told me, "You better shop around"
My mama told me, "You better shop around"
A just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
A make sure she's in love a with you now
Uh huh, before you let 'em take your hand my son
Uh huh don't let the first one get you
The women come and the women gonna go now
Make sure she's in love with-a you now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now"
There's still some things that you don't understand now

I'd hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now
You try to get yourself a bargain son
A yeah yeah 'make sure she's alright'
