Bright Star~whoa, Mama Lyrics - Bright Star [original Broadway Cast Recording] - Edie Brickell

You're young girl and you out to know better 

Then to be here 

What will everybody think? 

Whoa, mama 

Better back up slowly 

Make a quick getaway 

And hurry on home 

Whoa, mama 

At the rate your going 

Your papa'll get a shotgun have to run men off 

They'll hide in the shadows 

Fall out of trees 

Wait by your window 

Whisper "bless you" when you sneeze 

Someone will look at you just like this 

Someone will ask you for a kiss 

You're a smart girl 

Make a fool of somebody 

I'm a smart guy 

And I know that it won't be me 

Alice 

We'll see 

Jimmy-Ray 

Whoa, mama 

Take a second look before you set your sights on me 

I'm a restless small-town boy 

with a heart as wild as a big city 

Someone will take your hand 

Just like so 

Someone will never wanna let you go 

Someone will put you on a pedestal 

Someone will tell you you're incredible 

Alice 

I'm a young girl 

And I wanna go dancin' 

Wanna dip and twirl with the handsomest boy in town 

Somebody better comb their hair 

And put a clean shirt on 

Pick me up at eight 

Somebody better take me there 

Gonna have a lot of fun on our very first date 

Someone will offer you to walk her home 

Someone will want a little time alone 

Someone will wait as long as it takes 

For you 

Jimmy-Ray 

You're a sweet girl 

Wrap a man around your pinkie 

On your feet girl 

Get goin' cause it won't be me 

Alice 

Somebody's gonna buzz around me 

Like a fuzzy bumblebee 

Jimmy-Ray 

Whoa, go slow mama 

You're pretty as a daisy 

Smell like a rose 

Make a man crazy 

But it won't be me
