Explain it to her mama, you better tell it to your daughter
You know you love her, mama, she's your baby, you want her
She felt just like a woman but she was still a teen
She learned all around the facts of life but not the in between
And when she asked her mama, mama said ââ¬Â½Daughter wait
I'll teach you all there is to know but at a later dateââ¬Â
You better explain it to her mama 'cause she don't understand
How she's suppose to act with the strong, young handsome man
She was all so curious as she just had to know
But now it really didn't let her just to tell us all
This fellow she was dating who kept whispering in her ears
Soon he was saying just what she wanna give
Explain it to her mama 'cause she don't understand
How she's suppose to act with the strong, young handsome man
He was a way bit older and he had been around
It took a little doin' but he broke her resistance down
You kept more of mama 'cause it seems so very right
She decided this was true love on that one summer night, you better, oh
Forget about it mama, you told her things she never known
Now that she's a mama she can explain it to her own
Explain it to her mama, you better tell it to your daughter
You know you love her mama, she's your baby, you want her
Explain it to her mama, you better tell it to your daughter
You know you love her mama, she's your baby, you want her
