Check Out Her Mama

(album: Hey, Where's Your Brother? - 1992)

Well, listen now boys...to what I say,
This ol' game of love is easy to play,
There's only one way to see...what the future will hold,
You better check out her mama before you get bold

Check out her mama, before you say I do;
Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me and you;
Unless her mama is fine, you better take your time;
She's gonna look jus' like her mama on down the line.

Now, you think you've found the girl of your dreams,
Well, pretty things aren't just what they seem.

If you wanna see what the future will hold,
You better check out her mama before you get bold.

Check out her mama, before you say I do;
Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me and you;
Unless her mama is fine, you better take your time;
She's gonna look jus' like her mama on down the line.

Now, don't get in a hurry 'cause this ain't no race.
And don't get taken in by a pretty face.
You know that beauty is only skin deep,
So play your cards right or a sweeter [?] man be.

Check out her mama, before you say I do;
Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me and you;
Unless her mama is fine, you better take your time;
