Well, listen now boys...to what I say
This ol' game of love is easy to play
There's only one way to see...what the future will hold
You better - check out her mama before you get bold

Check out her mama, before you say I do;
Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me and you;
Unless her mama is fine, you better take your time;
She's gonna look jus' like her mama on down the line

Now, you think you've found the girl of your dreams
Well, pretty things aren't just what they seem

'f you wanna see - what the future will hold
You better - check out her mama before you get bold

Check out her mama, before you say I do;
Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me and you;
Unless her mama is fine, you better take your time;
She's gonna look jus' like her mama on down the line

Now, don't get in a hurry 'cause this ain't no race
And don't get taken in by a pretty face
You know that beauty is only skin deep
So play your cards right or a sweeter (?) man be

Check out her mama, before you say I do;
Check out her mama 'cause' jus' between me and you;
Unless her mama is fine, you better take your time;
