If Your Mother Only Knew

(앨범: I'll Try Something New - 1962)

Yeah, hey baby
As anyone can plainly see
Your mother don't want me to have your love
Why don't she want you with me?
Why don't she want you with me?

Oh baby, I'm sure your mother means no harm
It's just that she's so alarmed
To think of her baby in someone else's arms
Someone else's arms

Is it only me, or is the same thing true
With every guy who gives you the eye?
My life depends on what she tells you to do

Oh baby baby, I'm sure that if she knew
How much I really care for you
She'd say, "My son, I'm gonna give her to you
I know your loving is true"

Ooh, baby, I'm sure that if she knew
How much I really care for you
She'd say, "My son, I'm gonna give her to you
I know your loving is true"

If she only knew how much I love you
I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate
Girl, to let me take you on a date
Ooh hoo, she cares so much for you
I cha cha cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
