Mama Didn't Teach Me That Way Songtext
von Archie Bell & the Drells

(That′s what mama say)
(That's what mama say)

Now some boys they make their girls cry
And they even, they even make a tear come from their baby′s eye
But my mama she said "Son, you better get right"
'Cause if you don't, you′re gonna spend some long lonely nights, yeah

(Mama) oh no (didn′t teach me that way, oh)
My mama didn't teach me that way, oh
(Mama didn′t teach) no-no-no (me that way, oh)
She taught me to love that girl, yeah
(Mama didn't) oh yeah (teach me that way, oh)
My mama didn′t teach me that way, oh


Now some boys they leave their girls all alone
And they won't let them go out
They just let them stay at home
My mama said "Show your girl a good time
Love the little woman, love the little woman
And give her peace of mind", yeah

(Mama didn′t teach) oh yeah (me that way, oh)
My mama taught me to love that girl
(Mama didn't teach me) oh yeah (that way, oh)
She taught me to love her (mama didn't teach me that way, oh)

(Hey, hey, hey) now, some boys they make their girls blue
And they leave them home, they leave them home with nothing to do
But my mama said "Son, show your girl a good time
Love that little woman, love that woman
And give her peace of mind"

(Mama) oh no (didn′t teach me that) mama didn′t teach me that way, oh
(Mama didn't teach me) no, no (that way, oh)
She taught me to love that girl, she taught me to love that girl (mama didn′t teach me that way, oh)
She taught me to squeeze her and love her
Tease that woman, oh yeah
"Love your babe, love your baby son", yeah
Oh, yeah (mama didn't teach me) mama didn′t teach me
