Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble (1988 Extended Remix)

Listen homeboys, don't mean to bust your bubble

But girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble

So next time a girl gives you the play

Just remember my rhymes and get the hell away

Just last week when I was walking down the street

I observed this lovely lady that I wanted to meet

I walked up to her, I said, "Hello"

She said, "Hey, you're kind of cute"

I said, "Yes, I know, but

By the way, sweetheart, what's your name?"

She said, "My friends like to call me Exotic Elaine"

I said, "My name is the Prince"

And she said, "Why?"

I said, "Well, I don't know, I'm just a hell of a guy

But enough about me, yo, let's talk about you

And all the wonderful things that you and I can do"

I popped some trash, and in a little bit of time

I showed some cash, and the girl was mine

I took her over town, I wined her and dined her

She asked me, did I like her?

I said, "Well, kinda"

All of a sudden she jumped out her seat

Snatched me up by my wrist and took me out in the street

She started grabbin' all over me, kissin' and huggin'

So I shoved her away I said, "You better stop buggin'!"

She got mad, looked me dead in my face

Threw her hands in the air and yelled out, "Rape"

I got scared when she started to yell

So I handed her my wallet and ran like hell

I was duckin' through alleys, right and left

But when the cops caught up they almost beat me to death

I was arrested, charged with aggravated assault (Yo, Clancy, we got him)

But it wasn't my fault

Nevertheless, don't mean to bust your bubble

But girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble

So next time a girl gives you the play

Just remember my rhymes and get the hell away

I was in a bar one Friday night

Cooling, watching a Mike Tyson fight

I was maxin' and relaxin', sippin on tequila

When this girl walked up, she said, "Hi, my name is Sheila"

I responded by saying, "Hello"

She paid for my drink and then said, "Let's go"

Twenty minutes later things were starting to cook

As we pulled up into her house I said, "I'm with you, toots"

The music was soft, and there was wine in the glasses

She started winking and making little passes

At me, she grabbed me close, and that's when she got bold

She started feeling up my back, I said, "Ooh, your hands are cold!"

We went to her bedroom thinking of one thing

Took the phone off the hook to avoid the annoying ring

I caressed her body, and then I kissed her cheek

And that's when I observed those satin bed sheets

I felt that it was time for me to make my move

I thought, "I better hurry up," before I busted the groove

I leaned down to kiss her, but then out of the blue

A door slammed, and a voice said, "Baby, where are you?"

Her boyfriend busted in, he grinned an evil grin

And said, "Boy, I'ma tear your butt limb from limb!"

I was scared as hell, where was I supposed to go?

I just yelled, "Geronimo," and jumped out the window

Just my luck we were in a snow storm

And all I had was my underwear on to keep me warm

And to top the night off, I had to break in my place

Because my keys were in my pants back on Sheila's bookcase

I was done, sneezing and coughing

I hope this doesn't happen too often, but

Nevertheless don't mean to bust your bubble

But girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble

So next time a girl gives you the play

Just remember my rhymes and get the hell away

Yo, man, you think they see your point?

I don't know, man, I don't think they really will, man

I think you should give 'em another example

Alright, give me a scratch, let's make it funky right here

I got a ring on my phone, May fifth last year

It was my girlfriend Betty, I said, "Hello, dear,

I was just about to call you

I got a couple tickets to the Run D.M.C. concert" (I'm with it)

"It's 6 o'clock now, at 8 will you be ready?" (Yeah)

"Aight, fine, see you then, Betty"

I combed my hair, washed, and brushed my teeth

Got funky fresh dressed in my Le Coq Sportif

Got to Betty's at 8, I was ready to jet

Until Betty's mom said, "Betty's not ready yet"

I sat there for at least an hour

It was ten after 9 before she got in the shower

9:35 she comes downstairs

And said, "I need a little longer to finish my hair"

At 10 o'clock we had been missed the show

She comes downstairs and says, "Let's go?"

"Go where? Go to sleep, I'm gone!"

I was steamin' like a demon as I drove home

But it just goes to show not trying to bust your bubble

But girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble

So next time a girl gives you the play

Just remember my rhyme

Just remember my rhyme

Take heed to my rhymes and get the hell away

Man, first your parents just don't understand

I know, word, man

Then you had these crazy nightmares

Look, why me? Why me?

What's next?

Not these girls man, but you know how it is, can't live wit' 'em

Can't live without 'em
