Listen girl there's something that I gotta tell you
I got a funny little feeling that you are about to put me down
All my friends have been talking bout the way you mistreat me
It wouldn't have been this way if I'd have done what my Mama said.

She said son, let me give you some advice
You'd better remember this for the rest of your life

Mama said find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em, yeah, yeah, yeah
She said find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em

Oh! But I didn't listen to what my mama taught me
I went on and gave my heart to you girl
You walked on it, huh, you misused it
Until finally, you broke my heart in two, girl

They way you treated me, I wouldn't even treat a dog
You didn't even show me any mercy at all
I wish I had found you, fooled you, forgot you
Like my mama said
Mama said find 'em, fool 'em, forget 'em, yeah, yeah, yeah
