Boy, I got a crush on you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Naughty things going through my mind
When I think of you
Boy, I'm diggin' you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Babygirl's been puttin' it down
When he ain't around

I bend some of the rules
When it comes to you
You make me want to do
(All the things that he said not to)
I call you on the creep
Late at night when my pop's asleep
Gotta keep in on the low
Can't let my daddy know

Boy, I got a crush on you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Naughty things going through my mind
When I think of you
Boy, I'm diggin' you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Babygirl's been puttin' it down
When he ain't around

Is this some crazy dream?
Can't stop the way I feel
When I'm alone with you
The pressure is for real
I'm feelin' all these ways
I never felt before
Come here and close the door
A kiss is what I been waiting for

Boy, I got a crush on you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Naughty things going through my mind
When I think of you
Boy, I'm diggin' you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Babygirl's been puttin' it down
When he ain't around

Keelay is, the one gettin' the busiest
Far from the silliest
Tell me, are you feelin' this?
Not just for little kids
Little Women be strong enough
We rock long enough, for real
But the ones that been waitin' to drop
They say "yo, shorty rock
She be makin' it hot"
You know, A.G. know
Toy, she know
Little Women, 2000
You know how we go

I'll take my chances boy
When it comes to you
Just name the time and place
Do what I gotta do
My heart is sayin' yes
My mind is sayin' no
I'll risk it all for you
Daddy don't have to know

Boy, I got a crush on you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Naughty things going through my mind
When I think of you
Boy, I'm diggin' you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Babygirl's been puttin' it down
When he ain't around

Yeah
Yeah, yeah
(I got a crush on you)
Yeah
(I thought you knew)
(Uh-huh)
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

Boy, I got a crush on you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Naughty things going through my mind
When I think of you
Boy, I'm diggin' you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Babygirl's been puttin' it down
When he ain't around

Boy, I got a crush on you
My dad would kill me if he only knew
Naughty things going through my mind
When I think of you
Boy, I'm diggin' you
