My mama told me, my mama said

Pay attention, little sister



Mama, something happened today

A boy came up to me, who said he'd lost his way

He followed me and gently held my hand

Tomorrow he said, he'd take me to sugar land

Mama said



"Run baby, run, go find a place to hide

(Run)

Sounds like the wolf to me, he'll eat you alive

(Run)"



"Run baby, run, go find a place to hide

(Run)

Close all the doors, don't let that wolf inside"

Mama said



Better listen to your mama

'Cause mama surely knows

Better listen to your mama

Don't say I didn't tell you so



Pay attention, little sister

Pay attention, little sister

Pay attention, little sister



But mama, he seemed to be so sweet

And when he smiled at me, he knocked me off my feet

He only wants to kiss and hold me close

I must admit I weep for him and feeling the most, mama said



"Run baby, run, go find a place to hide

(Run)

Sounds like the wolf to me, he'll eat you alive

(Run)"



"Run baby, run, go find a place to hide

(Run)

Close all the doors, don't let that wolf inside"

Mama said



Better listen to your mama

'Cause mama surely knows

Better listen to your mama

Don't say I didn't tell you so



Pay attention, little sister

Pay attention, little sister

Pay attention, little sister



You better run before he knows, he makes

Every tingle in your body quit

Be careful, not to lose your

Before you know that he have complete control, run



You're missing the taste that's left on to his lips

But he can drink it dry on every drip

He'd be the only one who make you cry

And you can do what's up that



"Run baby, go, go find the place to hide

Sounds like the one to me who'll leave to the night

Run baby, go, go find the place to hide

Close all the doors, don't let that wolf inside", mama said



Baby, listen to your mama

'Cause mama surely knows

Baby, listen to your mama

'Cause I will show you some



Baby, listen to your mama

'Cause mama surely knows

Baby, listen to your mama, yeah

Pay attention, little sister
