Listen girl there's something that I gotta tell you I got a funny little feeling that you are about to put me down All my friends have been talking bout the way you mistreat me It wouldn't have been this way if I'd have done what my Mama said. She said son, let me give you some advice You'd better remember this for the rest of your life Mama said find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em, yeah, yeah, yeah She said find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em Oh! But I didn't listen to what my mama taught me I went on and gave my heart to you girl You walked on it, huh, you misused it Until finally, you broke my heart in two, girl They way you treated me, I wouldn't even treat a dog You didn't even show me any mercy at all I wish I had found you, fooled you, forgot you Like my mama said Mama said find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em, yeah, yeah, yeah
