[Intro 1]

[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]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

[Verse 2]
Just [Em]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 [D]friends like to
call me exotic [Em]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 ask 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 kissing and hugging
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!

[Verse 3]
[Em]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

[Interlude 1]
the hell away
[Em][Bm][D][Bm][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
I was [Em]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 [F]hel[Em]lo
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 [D]little [Em]passes
At me she pat me close that's
when she got bold
She started feeling up my back I said: "Oh,
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 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, sneezing and coughing
I hope this doesn't happen too often,
but

[Verse 5]
[Em]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

[Verse 6]
Yo man you think they [Em]see your point?
I don't know [D]man,
I don't think they [Em]really with it man
I think you should give
'em another example
Aight, give me a scratch let's
make it funky right here

[Verse 7]
I got a ring on [Em]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, [Em]fine, see you then, [Em]Betty"
I combed my hair washed
and brushed my teeth
Got funky fresh dressed in my
Le [Em]Coq Sportif
Got to Betty's at eight I was ready to jet
Until Betty's mom said:
"Betty's not ready yet"
[Em]I sat there for at least an hour
It was ten after nine before she got
in [Em]the shower
9:35 she comes downstairs
And said: "I need a little longer
to finish my [Em]hair"
At ten o'clock we had
been missed the show
She [Em]comes downstairs and says
'let's [Em]go'!?
"Go where? Go to sleep, I'm gone!"
[Em]I was steamin' like
a demon as I drove home
But it [Em]just goes

[Verse 8]
to show not
trying to bust your bubble
But girls of the world ain't
nothing but [Em]trouble
So next time a girl gives you the play
Just re[Em]member my rhyme
Just remember my rhymes
Take [Em]heed to my rhymes and get
the hell [Am]away

[Verse 9]
[Em]
Man, first your parents just don't understand
I know, right right
[D]Then you have these crazy [Em]nightmares
Bro, why me? Why me?
What's next?
I don't know, just not these girls man, but,
[Em]you know how it is, can't live wit 'em
Can't live without 'em
