Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh
Mama always warned me bout boys like you
She said that all you want to do is run over me like shoes
And takin' take me to ya crib and try to find somethin' sweet
Want to be the first to run and tell, you took my virginity
Kisses and hugs, I'm sure that that will be enough
If you just wait, I'm gonna give it to you
But before I do, this is what I want you to do
Boy you should listen, listen

Baby I ain't concerned, I ain't concerned
I know you think I'm flippin', know, know, know
You won't catch me sleepin', won't catch me sleepin'
All the other girls, they are grown as me
Saying all the stuff they done, now they want to know about me

The song starts off with the singer talking about how her mother had warned her about boys like the one she is currently interested in. Her mother had told her that they only want to use her and then leave her like old shoes. She also states that other girls try to talk about what they have already done and now they want to know about her. She goes on to explain that she knows that true love is more than just physical and that she wants to wait until she knows for sure about the love interest feelings.
The chorus comes in explaining to the boy that he should listen to her and that she is not concerned with what he thinks she is flipping about. She wants him to understand that she is not going to be just another girl that will be falling for his tricks. She wants him to know that she will not be sleeping with him anytime soon and he won't catch her sleeping.
The second verse starts with her talking about how she is holding out on sex with this boy and she is going to show all of the other girls what true love is all about. She wants to make sure that when they do make love, that it will be special and just right. She finishes off with the chorus again where she repeats that he should listen and that she is not concerned about what he thinks.
Overall, the song is about a girl who is taking her time to get to know her love interest better and not rushing into anything physical. She wants him to listen to her and know that she is not just another girl that will be easy to get.
Line by Line Meaning
Mama always warned me bout boys like you
My mother always advised me about boys with intentions like yours
She said that all you want to do is run over me like shoes
My mother warned me that you would treat me like an object or possession
And takin' take me to ya crib and try to find somethin' sweet
You would take me to your place and try to exploit me sexually
Want to be the first to run and tell, you took my virginity
You would brag to others that you deflowered me
But I know I'm gon' hold out until I know bout love
However, I am going to wait until I truly understand what real love is
Kisses and hugs, I'm sure that that will be enough
Until then, physical affection like kisses and hugs are sufficient for me
If you just wait, I'm gonna give it to you
If you respect my decision to wait, I will eventually have sex with you
But before I do, this is what I want you to do
But first, you need to listen to what I have to say
All the other girls, they are grown as me
Other girls my age have already had sex
Saying all the stuff they done, now they want to know about me
They talk openly about their sexual experiences and are curious about mine
And no matter what they say, we're gonna show 'em what love is all about
I am committed to proving that true love is more than just sex
So when we finally do the thing it's gonna be fine like wine
When we finally have sex, it will be incredible like aged wine
Ooh, take some time to make sure it's right
But we need to take our time to ensure it happens when the time is right
But you must listen first to what I'm a say to you
But you need to hear me out first
Yo, Nicole Wray (yeah), uh, what you got to say, mh
Nicole Wray is speaking, what's on her mind?
