Listen to your Mama |
LyricsListen to Your MamaYves Stilmant ©2025 [Verse 1A] You walked out wearin' that little red skirt I said, "Baby, that's cute -- but it kinda hurts" Them boys out there got one-track minds They'll say you're special -- till they cross that line [Verse 1B] You roll your eyes and slam the door But I've seen that movie, I know the score They'll charm your heart with a wink and grin But sugar, that's where the trouble begins [Pre-Chorus 1] I've danced that dance, I've played that game Don't get fooled by a pickup and a pretty name [Chorus] So listen to your mama when she says slow down Don't go chasin' every cowboy in town Wear somethin' decent, come home on time Keep your heart guarded like it's all mine They'll say the right words, they'll sing you a song But baby, those boots don't stay on long So laugh, live, dream -- but dodge them dramas And for the love of all things, listen to your mama! [Hook] [Verse 2A] That boy at school with the sideways grin Looks like trouble in Levi skin He's got a truck with a broken tail light And sweet talk that don't sound right [Verse 2B] He'll tell you "You're different," and maybe you are But don't let him take you too far Flattery's cheap when it comes too fast And good sense is what's gonna last [Pre-Chorus 2] They'll call you pretty, and mean it too But sweet talk don't mean they'll stick with you [Chorus] So listen to your mama when she says slow down Don't go chasin' every cowboy in town Wear somethin' decent, come home on time Keep your heart guarded like it's all mine They'll say the right words, they'll sing you a song But baby, those boots don't stay on long So laugh, live, dream -- but dodge them dramas And for the love of all things, listen to your mama! [guitar solo] [hook] [Bridge] One day you'll see just what I meant When you're cryin' over love that came and went So hold your ground, stand real tall You're worth more than a late-night call [Final Chorus] Yeah, listen to your mama when she says slow down You don't need no cowboy to wear that crown Dress like a queen, come home on time Keep your heart safe -- it's one of a kind They'll say the right words, they'll sing you a song But baby, those boots don't stay on long So be smart, be bold, dodge them dramas And say "Not today" -- just like your mama [Outro] Baby, trust me -- I've kissed some frogs Now I give advice and clean your dogs One day you'll laugh, and I'll say "Told ya!" With love, and sass -- from your mama |
