Lyrics My Mother Told Me - Nat King Cole

My mother told me
There would be some nights like this
My mother told me
To never trust a woman′s kiss
My mother told me
That there would be some nights like this

She took me on the side
And said, "Don't be no fool
When a woman lips are warm
Son, you better play it cool"

My mother told me
That there would be some nights like this
My mother told me
To never trust a woman′s kiss

The first time that I met you
You didn't have a cent
I had to buy you a dinner
And then I paid your rent

I took you Caboren
And bought you fancy clothes
And you kept saying, "Daddy, oh
Won't you buy me some of those"

But now I′m on the outside
The lock is on the door
Since you spent all my money, honey
You say you don′t want me anymore

My mother told me
That there would be some nights like this
My mother told me
That there would be some nights like this
My mother told me
To never trust a woman's kiss
