Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Too Much Too Young
[Verse 2]
You've done too much much too young
You're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
(Oh no, nuh gi we no more pickney)
[Verse 3]
You've done too much much too young
And now you're married with a son when you should be having fun with me
(We don't want, we don't want, we don't want no more pickney)
[Verse 4]
Ain't he cute?
No, he ain't
He's just another burden on the welfare state
[Verse 5]
You've done too much much too young
You're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
(Nuh gi we, nuh gi we, nuh gi we no more pickney)
No, no, no
[Verse 6]
Call me immature
Call me a poser
I'll spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't wanna be rich
Don't wanna be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you
You silly moo
[Verse 7]
You've done too much much too young
You're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
(Gi we de birth control, we nuh want no pickney)
No, no, no, no
[Verse 8]
You've done too much much too young
And now you're chained to the cooker, making currant buns for tea
(Oh no, nuh gi we no more pickney)
[Verse 9]
Ain't you heard of the starving millions?
Ain't you heard of contraception?
Really want a program of sterilization?
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap
