My parents always told me

Go be good in school

Please listen to the teachers

Follow all those rules

Don't you break those rules



Don't hang around with bad girls

They'll only lead you astray

Stay away from the bad boys

All that's on their mind's rolling in the hay



But I don't think I listen very well, she told me...



Boys are all the same, only want one thing

Not talking fancy cars or them diamond rings

Play it cool

Remember mama's golden rule

Some will take your money, some will take your heart

And some will leave with both,

Tear your world apart

Play it cool

Remember mama's golden rule,

Remember mama's golden rule



I tried to be a good girl

And do what she said

But it's not very easy

Mama I'm still young (mama I'm still young)

So now I'm back to party

And wanna have some fun

I never leave the disco

Till the lights come on & the night is done



But one thing always stays inside my min-in-in-ind



Boys are all the same, only want one thing

Not talking fancy cars or them diamond rings

Play it cool

Remember mama's golden rule

Some will take your money, some will take your heart

And some will leave with both,

Tear your world apart

Play it cool

Remember mama's golden rule,

Remember mama's golden rule



My mama told me use my head, my head

Try remember every word she said

Uh huh woah oh

Ah ah oh woah oh

Uh huh woah oh



My mama told me use my head, my head

Try remember every word she said

Uh huh woah oh

Ah ah oh woah oh

Uh huh woah oh



Boys are all the same, only want one thing

Not talking fancy cars or them diamond rings

Play it cool

Remember mama's golden rule

Some will take your money, some will take your heart

And some will leave with both,

Tear your world apart

Play it cool

Remember mama's golden rule,

Remember mama's golden rule
