THE ROOTS lyrics : "birthday girl"

What is it we wanna do?
Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you
Birthday Girl its your birthday

Wherever you wanna go
Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
R-rated show


Yo, She said she was a magazine editor named Janine
Backstage in high heels and painted on jeans

Probably had the most devious eyes I'd ever seen
Told me she was twenty-two she was only seventeen
She had sumthin' to hide she snuck in from outside

And got everybody gassed like the car I drive
With all that grown lady $$# and my far out vibe
She said she came to see them roots boys fallout live

But listen,

What is it we wanna do?

Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you
Birthday Girl its your birthday
Wherever you wanna go

Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
R-rated show


You see them girls look good but they brains not ready
I talk to a woman, her mind is more steady
Probably something in the way they designed that's more steady

I just let you recite cause the line so heavy
But I shoulda known better cause now I feel like America's underbelly
R. Kelly gutter smut peddlers, internet predators, chat-room irregulars

This not my twist you trying to send me to the therapist, miss

What is it we wanna do?

Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you
Birthday Girl its your birthday
Wherever you wanna go

Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
R-rated show


Now she told me cheddar cheese grits
Two tomato fried fish
Cause she heard its my dish

Tryna be my sidekick
All the people all around thinking she was my chick
Saying DAMN the girl thick

But she aint no twenty-six
Looking at me like I'm up to sumthin' on the funny tip
Like I ever been the one to honey jib

Its your birthday so let me know the gift you wanna get
In fact blow out the candles on the cake and make a wish for me


They can't really seem to look away
So they tried asking her to stay
Fake I.D. you won't get turned away

You look lovely tonight
Now you are old enough to buy a gun
So many better ways of having fun

Right now I can only think of one
You look lovely tonight.


What is it we wanna do?
Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you
Birthday Girl its your birthday

Wherever you wanna go
Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
R-rated show
