Mama Warned Me

Mama always told me girl you must be wise the Devil's out there somewhere and he's wearing a disguise he will try to trick you with his evil ways and he will make a fool of you with the games he plays. Listen to me baby he could be headed your way. I tried to heed her warning was good as I could be keeping all those eager men so far away from me then I met a stranger who had a gentle way and when he took me by the hand I heard my mama say you better watch your step now don't let him lead you astray. He was so very charming and I was so unwise he had such a handsome face and oh such pretty eyes his laughter was appealing so were the words he said and when he looked deep in my eyes I really lost my head. Please forgive me Mama I should be heeding what you said. His love was sweet and tender it took my breath away he held me through the cold dark nights and loved me through the day he told me that he needed me so I gave him my heart that's when he sent it straight to Hell and tore it all apart. I tried to listen Mama but he had me from the start. The Devil's out there somewhere so girl's I must advise beware of handsome strangers they may have Devil eyes he'll tempt you with his laughter and with the things he'll say don't look too deep into those eyes 'cause you will rue the day. Listen to me ladies he could be headed your way.
