She don't know what she wants to be
With all the pictures in the magazines
Holding hands when she's mad at me

'cause she don't wanna go, don't wanna go

I met her at anthropology

Purple boots and her golden dreams
Standing there like a Tennessee queen
Singing don't look at me, don't look at me


Singing oh oh
won't you help me sing this song

Singing ee ee ee
She don't ever want to go to sleep


Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe

You're the one that I can believe

Hey lover, don't want no other

finger for my ring

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama


Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh

I can see it in her Cherokee eyes

Those baby browns and the golden thighs
What you doing for the rest of your life?
Cause you don't want, don't wanna go


Singing oh oh
won't you help me sing this song

Singing ee ee ee
She playing like a mystery


Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe

You're the one that I can believe

Hey lover, don't want no other

finger for my ring

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama


Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh

Ooh oh oh oh

Couldn't be more opposite

I'm hard to please and you're hard to get
You're Mississippi and I'm Oregon
You're sun tanned and I'm porcelain skinned.


Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave

Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe


Hey lover, don't want no other
finger for my ring


Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama

Hey mama, hey hey mama

Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
