My Mamma Said It's True Lyrics

Words of wisdom, I recall, my mama told me when I was small
There's moral to each story
There's one here if you listen closely
I'd fuss and fight and promise you
I would never be so uncool
But I'm surprised if I don't find
I sound like you a lot of the time

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e43288-carrie_newcomer~my_mamma_said_its_true_lyrics.html ]
If you can't say nothin' nice don't say nothin' at all
Pride goes first before a fall
No one loves you like your mother
Someday you'll like your little brother
Don't run with that thing you'll poke out an eye
Don't wink at the boys when they go by
Never say never, thought I taught you better
Nice girls always wear a bra with a sweater

My mama said it's true
But I disagreed.
Sometimes it sounds like you

Two wrongs don't make a right
Dangling earrings are for just a T night
Anything worth doin' is worth doin' well
If you whistle in the dark no one can tell
Keep a penny in your packet keep a dime in your shoe
Wear clean underwear in case something happen to you
You can catch more flies with honey
Marry for love and not for money

My mama said it's true
But I disagreed.
Sometimes it sounds like you
Now it sounds like me

She said Bread crust can curl your hair
It's not polite to point or stare
If everyone else was jumping off a cliff too
You can be sure that I wouldn't let you
Don't wear white till after Easter day
I never spoke to your grandma that way
Get a real job, he wasn't worth your time
If you don't stop that then you'll go blind

My mama said it's true
