You had quite good thing goin'
With the girls you're used to knowin'
You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo

And though it may be hard to stop it 
I'm afraid you'll have to drop it
'Cause if you want me to love you, that's a no-no

I know you're used to goin' places 
With dim lights and painted faces
Where the dancin' girls do somethin' they call a go-go

I don't wanna stop your fun now
But if I'm the only one now
And if you want me to love you, that's a no-no

You know a no-no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much

So if you just can't resist 'em 
And they're not out of your system
And if there's some more wild oats you've got go sew

Just remember while you're sewin'
I'll be packin' up and goin'
'Cause I told you many times that that's a no-no

(Instrumental Break)

You know a no-no means baby shouldn't touch
If baby really loves his mama so much

So if some ol' flame starts burnin'
Or if you should get to yearnin'
To go back to where those women that you know go

Don't come home expectin' mama
Waitin' here in her pajamas
'Cause I told you many times that that's a no-no
Oh, you should know by now that's a no-no
