just you wait, you're gonna have yourself a ball
make a date, get that old horse out of the stall
better late than never doing nothing at all

trust in fate, here is a guy who's dark and tall
perfect mate, right now he's waiting for your
better late than never doing nothing at all

i'll be precise with my advice
honey don't you know that guy is really not your type, it's true
i'm tellin’ ya' go out and do , exactly as your mama tells you

celebrate, it's gonna work out baby doll
hesitate, set yourself up for a bigfall
better late than never doing nothing at all
terminate, hitting your head against the wall
circulate, give your whole life an overhaul
better late than never doing nothing at all

honey don't you know that it is high time you said "too-dle-oo"
i'm tellin’ ya’ go out and do
exactly as your mama tells you

the way that he’s been lying to me
guess i have been too blind to see
better late than never doing nothing at all
thanks for the wisdom that you impart
you keep my best interest at heart
better late than never doing nothing at all

it would be nice, to add some e
now i guess i know that guy is really not my type, it's true
a girl ought to do
exactly what her mama says to
exactly what her mama says to
as your mama tells you
