[Intro]
Ooh

[Verse 1]
Mama (Mama), I finally found a girl for me (Mama)
She's as fine as-a she can be (Mama)
And I've only known her for a week, it's true (Mama)
But I'm glad that I waited like you told me to

[Chorus]
Uh-huh (Mama, I've found someone that's true)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Mama, mama, mama (Mama)
She takes my money all the time (Mama)
She says she's saving every dime (Mama)
And she ain't jivin' me, I know (Mama)
She really, really loves me 'cause she told me so

[Chorus]
Uh-huh (Mama, I've found someone that's true)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Well, I love her, she loves me
We ain't got much money, it's true
We're gonna need a whole lotta help
I know I can depend on you, you, you, you
[Chorus]
Mama (Mama, I've found someone that's true)
Yes, I did, now
I found someone that's true

[Instrumental Break]
(Mama)
(Mama)
(Mama)
Oh

[Bridge]
I love her and she loves me
We ain't got much money, it's true
We're gonna need a whole lotta help
I know I can depend on you

[Verse 3]
Mama (Mama), she wants to live somewhere else (Mama)
Somewhere we can be by ourself (Mama)
Ah, but she's the girl that you wanted me to find (Mama)
So we're living with you, I know you don't mind

[Outro]
Come on, now (Mama), mama, let me run it down
Tell you all about (Mama) this girl I found
She's alright (Mama), she ain't nothin' wrong
I know that you two (Mama) are gonna get along
So come on and be happy (Mama), don't you know you oughta?
You ain't losin' a son (Mama), you're just gaining a daughter
Hey, hey (Mama), hey, hey
You better come on (Mama), come on
