Mama said, girl, that boy'll try to hold your hand
Try to be tough like a man
Always tease you around his friends
But girl, that boy is gonna try to kiss you
And do things you can't rush into
Whisper words that might be half true
He's gonna make you mad and act a fool
'Cause he's got a lot of growing up to do
And you're gonna be his everything to lose
'Cause he's got a heart that's made for loving you
Girl, that boy'll try to change your name
Be your rock like his grandma's ring
Put a fairytale to shame
Girl, that boy is gonna want a son
And if it's a girl he'll come undone
He'll be begging begging for another one
He's gonna make you mad and act a fool
'Cause he's got a lot of growing up to do
And you're gonna be his everything to lose
'Cause he's got a heart that's made for loving you
He's gonna make you mad and act a fool
'Cause he's got a lot of growing up to do
And you're gonna be his everything to lose
'Cause he's got a heart that's made for loving you
Mama said girl, that boy's got a love that lasts
How do I know? I'm glad you asked
Girl, that boy, he was your dad
