Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If prevention is better than secure, woa naah
I want to see that girl next door
But mek sure I have dem in store
Mi want a jook offa Jacqualine
But mi haffi draw for my rubbers, for my rubbers
Sex nice but the AIDS ting
When mi stop an mi look inna mi crystal ball
Mi get fi find out say, no man a nuh wall
An most pretty gal yuh caan trust dem at all,
At all, at all Hey
Yuh find a young girl an through she small
Yuh think say she naw gi yuh un with Paul
But if yuh ever hear how much name a call
A call, a call hey

She even have a married man over Whitehall
So mek sure when yuh in love yuh nuh fall
Nuh fall, nuh fall mi brethren

But mi haffi draw for my rubbers, for my rubbers
Sex nice but the AIDS ting
