That's What Mamma Said

I always remember the name's of the girls I bring home
step up, say hello, use a confident yet soft determination in your tone
yeah I remember, that's what Mamma said I should do
so here's my introduction lettin' my interest be keen on you

open them doors, slide those chairs under their behinds
pour their drink first, pass 'em the potatoes and when you eat take your time
yeah I remember, that's what Mamma said I should do
so here's my manners keepin' my respect workin' for my dues

get the bill, don't quarrel the check, take responsibility for your date
showin' her a good time's no use if you're gonna sit there 'n' make her pay
yeah I remember, that's what Mamma said I should do
so here's my finances laid down waging my commitment and proof

light a scented candle, run a bath, petal the bed with red roses
take her in your arms, undress her gentle, make love to her firm and slow
yeah I remember, that's what Mamma said I should do
so here's my romancing, our bodies like music in this mood

treat her good, when you kiss her let the moment just a little linger
love's amazing but it don't last sweetie, so don't put a ring on her finger
yeah I remember, that's what Mamma said I should do
it's just the way it goes, so when it's over don't think I didn't care for you

yeah I remember time and again that's what Mamma said I should do
don't fear to fall in love hun but don't drop your heart for her like a fool
o'else she'll never give it back and you'll swap it all for rue
...yeah I remember, that's what Mamma said.
