(Uh oh, uh oh) Every night I go Every night I go sneaking out the door I lie a little more, baby I'm helpless There's something 'bout the night And the way it hides all the things I like Little black butterflies Deep inside me What would my mama do (uh oh, uh oh) If she knew 'bout me and you? (Uh oh, uh oh) What would my daddy say (uh oh, uh oh) If he saw me hurt this way? (Uh oh, uh oh) (Uh oh, uh oh) Why should I feel ashamed? Feeling guilty at the mention of your name Here we are again It's nearly perfect What would my mama do (uh oh, uh oh) If she knew 'bout me and you? (Uh oh, uh oh) What would my daddy say (uh oh, uh oh) If he saw me hurt this way? (Uh oh, uh oh) What would my mama do (oh, oh) What would my daddy say All the things a girl should know Are the things she can't control All the things a girl should know She can't control What would my mama do (uh oh, uh oh) If she knew 'bout me and you (uh oh, uh oh) What would my daddy say (uh oh, uh oh) If he saw me hurt this way (uh oh, uh oh) Uh oh, uh oh Uh oh, uh oh Uh oh, uh oh
