Shop Around Lyrics - My World: The Definitive Collection - Smokey Robinson

When I became of age, my mother called me to her side 

She said, "Son you're growing up now 

Pretty soon you'll take a bride" 

And then she said 

"Just because you've become a young man now 

There's still some things that you don't understand now 

Before you ask some girl for her hand now 

Keep your freedom for as long as you can now" 

My mama told me, you better shop around 

Oh yeah, you better shop around 

Oh, there's some things that I want you to know now 

Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now 

The women come and the women are gonna go now 

Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now

My mama told me, you better shop around 

Oh yeah, you better shop around 

I try to get yourself a bargain, son 

Don't be sold on the very first one 

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen 

I try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving 

Before you take a girl and say, "I do" now 

Make sure that her love is true now 

My mama told me, you better shop around 

Oh hey, hey 

Try to get yourself a bargain, son 

Don't be sold on the very first one 

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen 

I try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving 

Before you take a girl and say, "I do" now 

Make sure that her love is true now 

Make sure she's in love with you now 

I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now

Oh yeah you better shop around 

Oh don't let the first one get you 

Oh no 'cause I don't wanna see her with you 

Oh before you let 'em hold you tight 

Oh make sure she's alright 

Oh before you let 'em take your hand my son 

Understand my son, be a man my son 

I know you can my son, I love you
