Letra Shop around Girl Authority

Shop around

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
