My Mother Told Me

My mother told me There would be some nights like this My mother told me To never trust a woman's kiss My mother told me That there would be some nights like this She took me on the side And said, "Don't be no fool When a woman lips are warm Son, you better play it cool" My mother told me That there would be some nights like this My mother told me To never trust a woman's kiss The first time that I met you You didn't have a cent I had to buy you a dinner And then I paid your rent I took you Caboren And bought you fancy clothes And you kept saying, "Daddy, oh Won't you buy me some of those" But now I'm on the outside The lock is on the door Since you spent all my money, honey You say you don't want me anymore My mother told me That there would be some nights like this My mother told me That there would be some nights like this My mother told me To never trust a woman's kiss
