Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie

Here 1 that boy and his friends
Making eyes at me again
Do they all think that I'm a toy

But not me because I know 5 trick
And they're wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye
My mama 6 't lie. (Mama didn't lie.) She didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie

I remember 7 my mama told me

Girl don't cha go so fast

The greatest 9 in this man's world
Is playin' tricks on every young girl
To have one is how they get their kick

And they're wrong to think I
Will be caught by the wink of an eye
My mama didn't lie. (Mama didn't lie) She didn't lie
Mama didn't lie, she didn't lie
Mama didn't
