You had quite good thing going
With the girls you used to knowing
You went up and down your list
Just like a yo-yo

And though it may be hard to stop it
I'm afraid you'll have to drop it
'Cause if you want me to love you
That's a no no

I know you're used to going places
With them lights and painted faces
Where the dancing girls do something they call go-go
I don't want to spoil your fun now
But if I'm the only one now
And if you want me to love you
That's a no no

You know a no no
Means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much
So if you just can't resist 'em
If they're not out of your system

And if there's some more wild oats
You've got to sow
Just remember while you're sowing
I'll be a packin' up and going
'Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
You know a no no
Means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much
So if some old flame starts burning
Or if you should get to yearnin'
To go back to where those women that you know go

Don't come home expecting
Mama's a waitin' here in her pajamas
'Cause I've told you many times that
That's a no no
Oh, you should know by now
That's a no no
