Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She don't know what she wants to be
With all the pictures in the magazines
Holdin' hands when she's mad at me
'Cause she don't wanna go, don't wanna go
[Verse 2]
I met her at Anthropologie
Her purple boots and her golden dreams
Standin' there like a Tennessee queen
Singin' don't look at me, don't look at me
[Verse 3]
Singin', oh, oh
Won't you help me sing this song?
Singin' me-e-e
She don't ever wanna go to sleep
[Verse 4]
Singin', hey Mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey, lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey, lover, don't want no other
Finger for my ring
[Verse 5]
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
[Verse 6]
Oh, oh, o-o-o-o-oh, oh
O-o-o-o-oh, oh
[Verse 7]
I can see it in her Cherokee eyes
Those baby browns and her golden thighs
What you doin' for the rest of your life?
'Cause I don't wanna go, don't wanna go
[Verse 8]
Singin', oh, oh
Won't you help me sing this song?
Singin' me-e-e
She playin' like a mystery
[Verse 9]
Singin', hey Mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey, lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey, lover, don't want no other
Finger for my ring
[Verse 10]
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
[Verse 11]
Oh, oh, o-o-o-o-oh, oh
O-o-o-o-oh, oh, o-o-oh
[Verse 12]
Couldn't be more opposite
I'm hard to please and you're hard to get
You're Mississippi and I'm Oregon
You're sun-tanned and I'm porcelain
[Verse 13]
Singin', hey Mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey, lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey, lover, don't want no other
Finger for my ring
[Verse 14]
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
Hey Mama, hey, hey Mama
[Verse 15]
Oh, oh, oh, o-oh, oh, o-oh, o-oh
Oh, oh
