Shop Around

Shop Around - Lloyd Price

When I became of age

My mother called me to her side

She said

Son you're growing up now pretty soon

You'll take a bride

And then she said

Just because you've become a young man now

There's things

That you don't understand now

Before you ask some girl for her hand now

Keep your freedom for as long as you can now

My mama told me

You better shop around

Oh yeah you better shop around

Ah there's somethings

That I want you to know now

Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now

The women come and the women gonna go now

Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now

My mama told me

You better shop around

Oh yeah you better shop around

A-try to get yourself a bargain son

Don't be sold on the very first one

A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen

A-try to find one

Who's gonna give you true lovin'

Before you take a girl and say I do now

Make sure she's in love with-a you now

My mama told me

You better shop around

Ooh yeah

A-try to get yourself a bargain son

Don't be sold on the very first one

A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen

A-try to find one

Who's gonna give you true lovin'

Before you take a girl and say I do now

Make sure she's in love with-a you now

Make sure that her love is true now

I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now

My mama told me

You better shop around

Oh yeah

Don't let the first one get you

I want to see her with you

Oh yeah before you let her hold you tight
