I know I hurt her
I know I need her
Oh mama
Mama told me I would meet girls like you
I hear its wrong but I'm gonna do it to you
Mama said, girl, you know you can never go back
Mama warned me about the girls all dressed in black
Steal your heart and make you cry, but they don't care
Tear you down, so girl, you gotta beware
I gave in, so now I won't ever go back
Mama warned me about the girls all dressed in black
Well, Mama told me I would meet girls like you
I hear its wrong but I'm gonna do it to you
Mama said, girl, you know you can never go back
Mama warned me about the girls all dressed in black
Steal your heart and make you cry, but they don't care
Tear you down, so girl, you gotta beware
I gave in, so now I won't ever go back
Mama warned me about the girls all dressed in black
