Lyrics

Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
I remember that night we were together
Sharing Jah love with one another
Those nights I can't forget
Lord knows I did sweat
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
Or else don’t kid with that
You got to have caution
Due a minor strain of contraceptive
Blood vessel bursts in their brain
Oh what a shame! Oh what a strain!
To see my black sisters going down the drain
Oh oh oh
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
A woman was made from the rib of a man
To multiply and not to divide
So leave your pills and thrills and your world of sodomy
Show unto yourself woman no sympathy
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
Or else don't deal with I
You got to have caution
Oh oy
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
I say throw away the boots
And I want my little youth
Throw away the pills
And I need my little girl, oh oh, hey hey
(Woman, don't you got feelings?)
Oh oh oh oh
(Woman, don't you got feelings?)
Woman! you got feelings
(Woman, don't you got feelings?)
You're bright like a star
You better know whether you do believe or not
(Woman, don't you got feelings?)
Oh oh
First degree murder
Adult sixteen and over
Oh yeah
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
Due a minor strain of contraceptive
Blood vessel bursts in their brain
Abortion, abortion, you got to have caution
You better know whether you do believe or not
(Woman, don't you got feelings?)
Oh oh
Nah hey, nah hey
Nah hey, nah hey
Oh oh, woh oh oh yeah
