[00:36.45] A little girl, he gave
[00:39.14] He gave me poetry
[00:41.23] And he was my first
[00:44.68] But in my heart I knew I
[00:47.45] Wasn't the only one
[00:50.15] 'Cause when the tables turned
[00:52.97] He had to break up
[00:54.62] But whenever I got lonely
[00:57.91] Or needed some advice
[01:00.61] He gave me his shoulder
[01:03.34] His words were very nice
[01:06.16] But that is all behind me

[01:44.27] A freak-freak
[01:45.08] Or could it be that it was
[01:47.88] All just so simple then
[01:50.50] A teenage lover who said
[01:53.23] He's just a friend
[01:56.07] He moved around and we kept
[01:58.86] In touch through his friend Mike
[02:01.46] The world was young and we knew
[02:04.21] We couldn't rush but
[02:06.54] Whenever I got lonely
[02:09.22] Or needed some advice
[02:11.97] He gave me his shoulder
[02:14.62] His words were very nice
[02:17.45] But that is all behind me

[03:12.22] Y'all know how I met her
[03:13.79] We broke up and got back together
[03:15.76] To get her back I had to sweat her
[03:17.72] Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
[03:20.73] Them boys may be better, to grow I had to let her (Never)
[03:23.55] She needed cheddar and I understood that
[03:26.10] Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat
