Girl Authority - Shop Around lyrics

When I became of age, My mother called me to her side, Said Oh girl you're growin' up now. Pretty soon you'll be a bride And then she said Just because you've become a young woman Now now There's still some things that you don't understand, now S'pose some guy comes and asks you for your hand, now Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now My mama told me You better shop around You better shop around There's some things that I want you to know, now Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now The boys they come and the boys are gonna go now Before you tell him that you love him so, now My mama told me You better shop around You better shop around Don't try to get yourself a bargain, hun Don't be sold on the very first one Handsome guys come a dime a dozen Try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin' Before you know how to say \"I do\" now Make sure he's in love with you, now My mama told me You better shop around Don't try to get yourself a bargain, hun Don't be sold on the very first one Handsome guys come a dime a dozen Try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin' Before you know how to say \"I do\" now Make sure he's in love with you, now Make sure that his love is true, now I'd hate to see you feeling sad and blue now My mama told me you better shop around I'm gonna shop around and around and around and around and around Uh huh before you let him take your hand, my hun Understand, my hun I know you can, my hun Oh yes you can, my hun Shop, shop around Shop, shop around
