Mama always told me save yourself
Take a little time and find the right girl
Then again don't end up on the shelf
Logical advice gets yo in a whirl
[Chorus 2]
(same as chorus 1)
I know, a lot of things that
You don't you wanna hear some
She said, just give me something
Anything
Well give me all you got but not love
No not love she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same
