I like him I like him I like him But daddy said I can't have no boyfriend I can't have no boyfriend I can't have no boyfriend I can't have no boyfriend He said he want me to focus on my schoolwork He said them boys ain't gon' do nothin' But mess my head up But I like him I like him I like him I like him We instant message back and forth He told me to meet him up at the basketball court And I'm like, "Okay, but I'm bringing my girls with me" And all of a sudden momma busts in the door quickly She look at the screen and say "Who you chatting with?" "Nobody" Now she reading the screen like "So who is Ray?" "Nobody" "Oh, he somebody You know your dad come in at four" "Momma, please don't tell daddy I ain't gon' talk to Ray no more" Now I'm sittin in my room Waiting for dad to come home She took my iPad Can't let Ray know what's going on We never exchanged numbers Can't call him on the phone Now I see why my friends say They can't wait till they get grown I'm checking the clock and it's five minutes till four I'm starting to get nervous, constantly chasing the floor And then I thought, "Wait what am I in trouble for?"
