G  
Mama says I shouldn't be going with you, Mama says she knows best 
       C                 G                                               Em    
You'll take my heart and break it in two 'cause you're just like all the rest 
    C                       G                                       Em 
She says that you're just a one night man and you'll end up hurting me 
        G                        D                G 
Aw, but I've seen something that Mama ain't ever seen 

C 
Mama’s never looked into those eyes, felt the way that they hypnotized 
C                                       D 
She don't know how they make me feel inside 
C                                       G                 Em 
If Mama ever knew what they do to me I think she'd be surprised 
    G                       Em    G             D          G  
Aw, Mama's never seen those eyes, Mama's never seen those eyes 
 
 
Mama says that I shouldn't let you steal a kiss, Mama says it just ain't right 
She don't know that I can't resist with the moon so big and bright 
She says I'll find a love someday but you're just not the one 
Aw, but I've seen something that Mama ain't ever done
