it is about a young girl who has been warned by her mother by a guy she loves because he can make her jump into sex and it might lead her to loss of virginity
[Intro]
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah, ooh
[Verse 1]
Mama always warned me 'bout boys like you
She said that all you wanna do is run over me like shoes
And takin' take me to ya crib and try to find somethin' sweet
Wanna be the first to run and tell, you took my virginity
But I know I'm gon' hold out until I know 'bout love
Kisses and hugs, I'm sure that that will be enough
If you just wait, I'm gonna give it to you
But before I do, this is what I want you to do
[Chorus]
Boy, you should listen (Listen)
Baby, I ain't concerned (I ain't concerned)
I know you think I'm flippin' (Know)
But you won't catch me slippin', you won't catch me slippin'
Boy, you should listen (You should listen)
Baby, I ain't concerned (I ain't concerned)
I know you think I'm flippin' (Know, kn-know, know)
You won't catch me slippin' (Won't catch me slippin')
[Verse 2]
All the other girls, they are grown as me
Saying all the stuff they done, now they wanna know about me
I tell 'em 'bout me and you, how we be holdin' out
And no matter what they say, we're gonna show 'em what love is all about
So when we finally do the thing, it's gonna be fine like wine
Ooh, take some time to make sure it's right
So far as me and you, this is what we gon' do
But you must listen first to what I'ma say to you
[Chorus]
Boy, you should listen (Boy)
Baby, I ain't concerned (Baby I ain't the same)
I know you think I'm flippin' (Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo)
You won't catch me slippin', (Won't, won't) won't catch me slippin'
Boy, you should listen (Oh, oh, oh)
Baby, I ain't concerned (I, I, I ain't)
I know you think I'm flippin' (No, oh, no)
You won't catch me slippin' (Won't, you won't baby)
[Breakdown]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, (Ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah) ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah, oh, ho, oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, (Yeah) ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, (Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) ooh (Yeah-yeah)
Boy, won't you listen
[Chorus]
Boy, won't you listen (Yeah, oh-ooh, oh, oh)
Baby, I ain't concerned (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh, yeah)
I know you think I'm flippin' (Yeah)
But you won't catch me slippin', you won't catch me slippin', (Yeah)
Boy, you should listen (I-I, I-I)
Baby, I ain't concerned (Oh)
I know you think I'm flippin'
But you won't catch me slippin' (Yeah, eh, eh, baby, won't you listen)
