Explain It to Her Mama Lyrics

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? Daughter wait
I'll teach you all there is to know but at a later date?

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

A Memphis soul vocal trio. This polished group formed in 1970 and recorded for We Produce, a Stax offshoot. Band members Jasper "Jabbo" Phillips, Harold "Scotty" Scott, Deljuan "Del" Calvin rode a sumptuously produced remake of the often-covered Five Royales/Shirelles standard "Dedicated to the One I Love" onto R&B play lists in 1972. After "Love's Maze" made a little noise as a follow-up, the trio moved to Epic for their final hit in 1976, the entirely self-explanatory "I Found Love on a Disco Floor."

The band reunited in the 1990s and released "Because We Love You" in 2000. Lead singer Jasper "Jabbo" Phillips died on February 21, 2001. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
