 Never Trust A Man (Williams)
 Mama told me
 That you just can't trust a man
 Mama told me
 "Girl, don't never trust a man"
 But I was wild at the time
 People, I just didn't understand
 Now that I'm grown
 I know what mama was trying to do
 She was trying to keep me
 From going through what she'd been through
 But I was hard-headed and wouldn't listen
 So I got my heart broken, too
 I been lied to
 Misused
 And then pushed aside
 I can't count the nights
 I wished for mama and cried
 Mama told me
 "Girl, you just can't trust a man"
 But I was wild at the time
 People, I just didn't understand
 At first it was a schoolboy
 My first love in the world
 I thought I would die
 I caught him kissing another girl
 Mama told me
 "Girl, don't never trust a man"
 But I was wild at the time
 People, I just didn't understand
 (solo)
 I been lied to
 Misused
 And then pushed aside
 I can't count the nights
 I wished for mama and cried
 Mama told me
 "Girl, don't never trust a man"
 But I was wild at the time
 People, I just didn't understand
 I know there's good men in the world
 But you can count them all on one hand
 I'm trying to tell all you girls
 And I want you to understand
 Now I know mama was right
 So don't you ever trust a man
