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
