Shop Around
By: Captain & Tennille

Just because you've become a young woman, now
There's still some things that you don't understand, now
Before you ask some guy for his hand, now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now

My mama told me
"You better shop around"
Mm-hmm
"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 men'll come and the men are gonna go, now
Before you tell him that you love him so, now

My mama told me
"You better shop around"
Uh-huh
"You better shop around"

Try ta get yourself a bargain, girl
Don't ya be sold on the very first one
Good-lookin guys come a dime a dozen
Try ta find you one that's gonna give you true lovin

Before you take a man and say 'I do', now
Make sure he's in love with with you, now

My mama told me
"You better shop around"
Uh-huh
"You better shop around"

Try ta get yourself a bargain, girl
Don't ya be sold on the very first one
Good-lookin guys come a dime a dozen
Try ta find you one that's gonna give you true lovin

Before you take a man and say 'I do', now
Make sure he's in love with you, now
Make sure that his love is true, now
I'd hate ta see ya feelin sad and blue, now

My mama told me
"You better shop around"
Uh-huh
"You better shop around"

You'd better shop around
You'd better shop around
