Check Me Out
Little Denise Lyrics

Everyone say that i'm to young
People are telling me that I am too young to do things on my own.

To do my own thang
To live life the way I want to, without others controlling me or making decisions for me.

But i know they're wrong
I have faith in myself and my abilities and know that I am capable of doing things independently despite what others say.

You see
Let me tell you something that you might not have known before

Mama not worried
My mother is not concerned about me doing my own thing, and she trusts me to make good choices.

And papa never did
My father has always allowed me to make my own decisions and never interferes with my choices.

I'm just a litty bitty girl
I am young and small in size, but that doesn't stop me from being independent and free-spirited.

Like a hole lot i gets
I have a lot of free time that I can use to do my own thing.

To do my own thang
I have the opportunity and ability to make my own choices and follow my own path in life.

Check me out fella'
Hey guys, take a look at me now and see what I am capable of!

Tell me what you think now?
What do you think of my independence and my ability to do my own thing, now that you've seen it for yourself?

If i had my thing together
If I have all my ducks in a row and am confident in myself

As long as i live
For the entirety of my life

I guarantee
I promise, with confidence and conviction

No other woman can take a man from me
No other woman can come in and ruin my relationship with a man because I am confident in my own abilities and he is with me for a reason.

Mama kept papa straight
My mother kept my father in line and made sure he was a good partner and father.

And she took the time
She made a conscious effort and took the necessary steps to ensure my father was on the right track and being a good role model.

To learn me how to keep any man in line
She taught me how to be a strong, independent woman and how to keep my partner in check and maintain a healthy relationship.

So do my own thang
I will continue to live my life the way I want to without outside influence or pressure.

Come on and check me out fellas'
Come take a look at who I am and what I am capable of!

I wanna know what you think
I am curious to know your thoughts and opinions about me and my independence.

My thang is all together
I have my life together and am confident in my choices and decisions.

Listen to me boys
Pay attention to what I am saying.

Let me tell you this
I have something important to share with you.

It's nobodys business
It's not anyone else's concern or problem.

Who i give my gift
Who I choose to be with or give my love to is my own decision and not anyone else's.

Because i'm doing my own thang
I am living life on my own terms and making my own choices.

Don't you wanna take me out
Do you find me attractive or interesting enough to want to spend time with me?

Don't i have my thang together?
Aren't I confident and put-together enough for you?

I have my thang together!
I am confident, independent, and capable in all aspects of my life.
