My parents always told me
Go be good in school
Please listen to the teachers
Follow all those rules
Don't you break those rules

Don't hang around with bad girls
They'll only lead you astray
Stay away from the bad boys
All that's on their minds
Rolling in the hay

But I don't think I listen very well
She told me

Words are all the same, only worth one thing
Talking fancy cars or them diamond rings
Play it cool, remember mama's golden rule
Someone take your money, someone take your heart
And some will leave with boys tear your world apart
Play it cool, remember mama's golden rule
Remember mama's golden rule

I try to be a good girl
And do what she says
But it's not very easy
Mama I'm still young
Mama I'm still young, still young

So now I'm back to party
And wanna have some fun
I never leave the disco
'Til the lights come on
And the night is done

But one thing always stays
On my mind-ind-ind

Words are all the same, only worth one thing
Talking fancy cars or them diamond rings
Play it cool, remember mama's golden rule
Someone take your money, someone take your heart
And some will leave with boys tear your world apart
Play it cool, remember mama's golden rule
Remember mama's golden rule

My mama told me use my head, my head
Try remember every word she said
Uh, uh, woah, oh
Ah, ah, oh woah oh
Uh, uh, woah, oh

My mama told me use my head, my head
Try remember every word she said
Uh, uh, woah, oh
Ah, ah, oh woah oh
Uh, uh, woah, oh

Words are all the same, only worth one thing
Talking fancy cars or them diamond rings
Play it cool, remember mama's golden rule
Someone take your money, someone take your heart
And some will leave with boys tear your world apart
Play it cool, remember mama's golden rule
Remember mama's golden rule
