In August's song "Mama Told Me," the lyrics describe the singer's regret and realization that he should have listened to his mother's advice about a woman he was involved with. The first verse expresses the singer's astonishment at the woman's appearance, particularly her curves and the way she moves. The B-section emphasizes the trope of the "dream girl," implying that the woman had initially seemed perfect to the singer. The chorus repeats the title line, emphasizing the singer's realization that he was played by the woman, despite his mother's warning. The second verse similarly characterizes the woman as someone who can't be trusted, "Them type of girls ain't gon' never do you right." The bridge summarizes the singer's disbelief that he couldn't see what was happening, despite his mother's warnings.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of listening to the wisdom and experience of others, particularly a mother's advice. It also portrays the vulnerability of falling for someone who may have ulterior motives, as well as the difficulty of letting go of someone who has broken your heart.
Line by Line Meaning
I see the way that you're walkin' and I can't explain it
You in them tight blues somethin' about you
Curvin' and kickin' them hips and thighs, I can't believe my eyes, tell me is this true?(Ho whoa)
The singer is attracted to a woman in tight clothing who is walking in a way that catches his attention. He is mesmerized by her curves and movements and can't believe what he is seeing.
I couldn't see it, (no), I couldn't believe it, (no), I thought she'd do me rightI didn't knowMama told me she would play with my mind(She would play with my mind)
But I should've knownMama told me she would play with my mind
The singer was naive and believed that the woman he was interested in would treat him well. However, his mother had warned him that she would manipulate him and play with his emotions. He didn't believe his mother's warning and ultimately fell victim to the woman's tricks.
Them type of girls ain't gon' never do you right
That's what she told meI just could not see
I'm such a sucker for lips and hips I couldn't think of it, her eyes are mesmerizin' yeah(Ho whoa)
The singer's mother had warned him that women who fit a certain type would never treat him well, but he was too blinded by his attraction to this woman's physical features to understand. He was particularly taken by her eyes and found them captivating.
From the very, very start she had it all fell apart
(I should've)I should've listened when she said
Mama told me she would play with my mind(My mind)
The relationship between the singer and the woman he was interested in fell apart very quickly, despite the fact that he had believed that things would go well. His mother's warning came true and he wishes he had taken her advice more seriously.
