[Intro]
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

[Verse 1]
Every night I go
Every night I go sneaking out the door
I lie a little more, baby, I'm helpless
There's something 'bout the night
And the way it hides all the things I like
Little black butterflies
Deep inside me

[Chorus]
What would my mama do
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
If she knew 'bout me and you?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
What would my daddy say
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
If he saw me hurt this way?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Why should I feel ashamed?
Feeling guilty at the mention of your name
Here we are again
It's nearly perfect
[Chorus]
What would my mama do
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
If she knew 'bout me and you?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
What would my daddy say
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
If he saw me hurt this way?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)

[Post-Chorus]
What would my mama do? (Oh-oh)
What would my daddy say?

[Bridge]
All the things a girl should know
Are the things she can't control
All the things a girl should know
She can't control

[Chorus]
What would my mama do
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
If she knew 'bout me and you?
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
What would my daddy say
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
If he saw me hurt this way?
[Outro]
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh)
