Shop Around The Miracles
Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson
Recorded by The Miracles, 1960
When [G]I became of age, my mama c[C]alled me to her side.
She said, "S[A]on, you're growing up now, pretty s[D]oon you'll take a bride."
And then she s[G]aid:
[G7]Just because you've bec[C7]ome a young man now
[G7]There's still some things that you d[C7]on't understand, now.
[G7]Before you ask some g[C7]irl for her hand, now,
[G7]Keep your freedom for as l[C7]ong as you can, now.
[A7]My mama told m[D7]e, You'd better shop arou[G]nd.
Oh y[C7]eah, You better sh[G7]op around.[D7]
There's some things that I want you to know, now.
Just as sure as the wind's gotta blow, now,
The women come and the women gonna go, now.
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so, now,
My mama told me, You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah, You'd better shop around.

[C7]Try to get yourself a bargain, son.
[G7]Don't be sold on the very first one.
[C7]Pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
[A7]Try to find one who's gonna g[D7]ive you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say "I do" now,
Make sure she's in love with you, now.
My mama told me, You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah, you'd better shop around.
(sax solo)
(repeat bridge)
Before you take a girl and say "I do" now,
Make sure she's in love with you, now.
Make sure that her love is true, now.
I'd hate to see you feeling sad and blue, now.
My mama told me, You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah, don't let the first one get you.
'Cause I don't want to see her with you.
Before you let her hold you tight,
Make sure she's all right.
Before you let her take your hand, my son
Understand, my son, be a man, my son, I know you can, my son...
