Taken at face-value, the third song from Truant Wave addresses being seduced by young, flirtatious party girls who are “asking for it”, a term often used to justify rape and sexual assault.

[Verse 1:]
Pretty things
Fresh out of their teens
Not ready for the world in a world of bad dreams
But is it self esteem?
'Cause you're almost on your knees
Out looking for a good time
But time's not on their side
Tonight, her tights shake a little loose
Feeling woozy, not a floozy
But the booze makes her less choosy
You'll stumble and tumble to new bruises
On three hundred dollar shoes
While you're giving me the blues
[Pre-Chorus:]
But it's a thin thin line between a good and a bad idea
So I should bite my tongue before I tell you how I really feel
[Chorus:]
Just watch out for those cute girls
Cute girls
Girl I'm just impressed with your face, not your dress
[Verse 2:]
You singing along with the same old song
Blasting out a car window
Passing down your boulevard tonight
Under another unforgiving streetlight
[Pre-Chorus:]
But it's a thin thin line between a good and a bad idea
So I should bite my tongue before I tell you how I really feel
[Chorus:]
Just watch out for those cute girls
Cute girls
Girl I'm just impressed with your face, not your dress
[Bridge (Om'mas Keith):]
Have a drink, crazy girl
Tip my crown toward the world
I knew a big chick and her jeans was tight
Knew that she was black and white
This ain't no time like a pane of glass
[?] livin' that
Walk into the town with finesse and grace too
And if you want that grace, you can come to my place, ooh
Oh yeah, and [?] the face too
[Outro:]
You better watch it for the cute
Cute girls
Cute girls
Cute girls
Cute girls
