The Shirelles – Mama Said lyrics

(Sha la la, sha la le sha
Sha la la, sha la le sha)
I know it's wrong & yet
Ooo have I played a sinner's devotion
But if I give in to temptation in the moonlight
Let your lips excite me & invite me
How long will it be (sha la la)
Till you're tired of me (sha la la)
Till you want somebody new (sha la la)
& we'll be through because...

That's how it must turn out
For those who play a sinner's devotion
I know you belong to another & you want me
Only for the moment, but for the moment
The price is too tall (sha la la)
I'd rather listen to your call (sha la la)
For a sinner's devotion is no devotion at all

(Sha la la, sha la le sha
Sha la la, sha la le sha)

(repeat verse 2, then repeat sha-la-la's & fade)
