Rice Drewry: Music
Don't Talk About That
(Rice Drewry)
Mary was 5 years old when she asked her Mom
What makes me different from my little friend John
He says he’s got something that I don’t have
Mama couldn’t help it, but she stifled a laugh
Don’t talk about that, don’t talk about that
When Mary was 12 years old, she started to blossom
The boys must’ve smelled pheremones, they came around often
“Mary, you can’t go out dressed like that”
Mary asked why, Mama looked all aghast
Don’t talk about that, don’t wanna talk about that
CHORUS
Don’t talk about that, you’re growing up too fast
Gotta make your childhood last. Don’t talk about that. Don’t talk about that
Just last week Mary turned sweet sixteen
A real little number, if you know what I mean
But Mary quit school sometime late last May
When Mama found out she’s in the family way
Don’t talk about that, they never talked about that
CHORUS
You better talk about that, cmon and talk about that
