Songtexte Shop Around - Helen Shapiro

When I became of age my mother called me to her side
She said,"doll, you're growing up now pretty soon you'll be a bride"

And then she said, "Just because you've become a young girl now"
"A-don't letta fella put you in the world now"
"Before you give some boy your hand now"
"A-keep your freedom for as long as you can now"

My mama told me, "You better shop around"
"Oh, yeah, you better shop around", (shop, shop 'round)

"Hey, hey, hey, just a thing that I want you to know now"
"A-just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now"
"The men they come and the men gonna go now"
"Before you tell them that you love them so now"

My mama told me, "You better shop around"
"Oh, yeah, you better shop around"
Aha

"A-try to find yourself a bargain girl"
"Don't get your heart cold up in a world"
Handsome boys come a dime a dozen
"Try to find one who's gonna get you true lovin' "

Before you act a fool and say I do, now
A-make sure he's in love with you now
My mama told me, "You better shop around"

Ey, ey, ey, ey,ey, ey, ey
"Try to get yourself a bargain girl"
"Don't get your heart cold up in the world"
"Handsome boys come for dime a dozen"
"Try to find one who's gonna get you through lovin' "

"Before you act a fool and say I do now"
"A-mske sure he's in love with you now"
A-make sure that his love is true now"
"I hate to look you sad and blue now"

My mama told me, "you better shop around"
Oh, yeah, so I'm gonna shop around
Aha, because my mama said
Ah, you know she said
She said, "go ahead"
"Hmm, go ahead and shop around, my girl"
"Shop around, my girl"
"Find a man, my girl"...
