Mama said look before you leap
And I'm glad I'm looking at you
Mama said that you're a keeper
I said, "I think so, too"
And now I'm dancing around my room
She makes me feel just like it's June
Mama said that you're so special
I said, "I think so, too"
And she said, "Son, there'll be a day
When all the friends you've had
Pack up and move to Maine
I hope you gave them everything you had
I hope you gave them every dance
I hope you showed them something special"
I said, "I hope so, too"
'Cause Mama said look before you leap
And I'm glad I'm looking at you
Mama said that you're a keeper
I said, "I think so, too"
And now I'm dancing around my room
She makes me feel just like it's June
Mama said that you're so special
I said, "I think so, too"
I didn't know I was lost for words
'Til I tried to write you a song
You didn't know that I was there
'Til I'd been there all along
And when I say I've got a lot on my mind
That's not true, it's just you
And she said, "Son, there'll be a day
When all the friends you've had
Pack up and move to Maine
I hope you gave them everything you had
I hope you gave them every dance
I hope you showed them something special"
I said, "I hope so, too"
'Cause Mama said look before you leap
And I'm glad I'm looking at you
Mama said that you're a keeper
I said, "I think so, too"
And now I'm dancing around my room
She makes me feel just like it's June
Mama said that you're so special
I said, "I think so, too"
'Cause Mama said look before you leap
And I'm glad I'm looking at you
Mama said that you're a keeper
I said, "I think so, too"
And now I'm dancing around my room
She makes me feel just like it's June
Mama said that you're so special
I said, "I think so, too"
