Heroes Die Young

Ooh girl
I've been watching you
And you've been acting strangely lately, yeah

I've been watching you of late
And you've been acting strangely
You're watching too much so
Behaving like you're on Dynasty
Said you wanna reach the stars
But you can't afford the ticket
Better come down off your horse
Join my program and stay with it

Please girl, don't play hero with me now
Heroes die young, yes
Oh now, didn't you know that now-now
And if you really want my love
Gotta hold on strong
Stronger now, stronger than that
Stronger, stronger
Stronger now, stronger than that

Warning one, always try to be a lady
Warning two, never forget your pride and your dignity
Warning three, don't overdo it when you test a brother
And the rest of the warning, you don't need a reminder, no

Observing you of late
Conclusion is, you're crazy
Your actions day by day
Proves you're getting hasty
Say you're declaring a war
And you can't afford the battle
Say you wanna play it rough
But you don't know how to tackle

Please girl, don't play hero with me now
Heroes die young
So young, so young now

Warning one, always try to be a lady
Warning two, never forget your pride and your dignity
Warning three, don't overdo it when you test a brother
And the rest of the warning, you don't need a reminder, no

Don't think I'm coming down on you
A little bit too heavy
But at this stage of my life
I can't afford to live in maybe
I'd be telling a lie
If I said I didn't love you
I'd be so terrified
If I had to live without you

So girl, don't play hero with me now
Heroes die young
Didn't you know that, girl?
You shoulda known that now
And if you really want my love
You gotta hold on strong
Stronger now, stronger than that
Just a little bit stronger
Hold on, hold on, yeah
Stronger, baby, stronger
Stronger now, oh yeah

Hey girl, don't play hero with me now
Heroes die young
Didn't you know that, girl, now-now?
And if you really want my love
You gotta hold on strong
Stronger now, stronger, baby, now
Hey girl, don't play hero with me
Heroes die young
So young, so young now, now, now
