Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble - Single Version

[Intro]

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 rhyme and get the hell away

[Verse 1]

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 shе said: "Why?"

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

But enough about mе, 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 to 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

(Hey, yo Clancy, we got him!) But it wasn't my fault!

[Chorus]

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 rhyme and get the hell away

[Verse 2]

I was in a bar one Friday night

Coolin', watchin' 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"

20 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: "Oh, your hands are cold!"

We went into her bedroom thinking of one thing

Took the phone off the hook to avoid the annoying ring

I caressed her body and 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 my 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 book case

I was done, sneezin' and coughin'... (Aaa-choo!)

I hope this doesn't happen too often, but

[Chorus]

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 rhyme and get the hell away

[Spoken Interlude: DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince]

Yo man, you think they see your point?

I don't know, I don't think they really get it, man...

I think you should give 'em another example!

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

[Verse 3]

I got a ring on my phone, May 5th 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 wit' it)

"It's six o'clock now, at eight 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 eight, 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 nine before she got in the shower

9:35, she comes downstairs

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

At ten 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

[Chorus]

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 rhymes

Take heed to my rhymes and get the hell away!

[Outro: DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince]

Man, first your parents just don't understand...

I know, right, man...

Then you have 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
