Schoolyard
Prince Lyrics

I was only 16 and her name was Carrie
At the age of 16, I met a girl named Carrie.

She was the number one little girl I wanted 2 marry me
I had a strong desire to marry her right from the start.

She was only 14, but she had the major body
Even though she was only 14, she had a mature and developed body.

Yeah, this girl was mean
She was attractive and had a confident, assertive personality.

Me and Ace picked Carrie up from school one day
One day, my friend Ace and I went to Carrie's school to give her a ride.

We took her 4 a ride in Ace's car, the music started 2 play
While we were driving, we turned on some music and started to enjoy the ride.

We sat real close, both nervous
I and Carrie were sitting very close to each other in the car and were feeling nervous.

Lookin' at each other not knowin' what 2 say
We were both looking at each other but we didn't know what to say.

Ace was a real fast driver
My friend Ace was driving the car very fast.

With every turn, Carrie fell in my lap
As Ace was making the turns, Carrie fell on my lap every time.

He asked us where we wanted 2 go
Ace asked us where we wanted to go.

I said 'Yeah right, like U need a map!'
I sarcastically replied to Ace saying that he didn't need a map.

Ace's girl showed up, that's when the party started jumpin'
Then Ace's girlfriend showed up and the party started to get livelier.

Tower Of Power's 'Squib Cakes' steady humpin'
The song 'Squib Cakes' by Tower Of Power was continuously playing in the background.

I said 'Carrie, hmm, do U wanna dance?'
I asked Carrie if she wanted to dance.

She said 'Uh hmm, yeah, like later man, first let me smoke this weed'
Carrie told me that she wanted to smoke weed first and then dance later.

I said 'Damn, my cologne ain't sayin' shit if this is what she needs'
I was disappointed that my cologne didn't have any effect on her since she wanted to get high first.

Yeah, before I knew it, Carrie was seein' double
Carrie got intoxicated and was seeing things twice.

That's when me and her got into trouble
When she got high, we got into a difficult situation.

So much 4 the dance
We didn't even get a chance to dance.

I started takin' off Carrie's pants
I started to remove Carrie's pants.

Now boys and girls 4 the graphic part
At this point, the song gets explicit and graphic in nature.

Close your ears if U ain't got a nasty heart
If you can't handle graphic content, you should stop listening to the song.

Now take a glove, fill it with hot baby lotion and slip it on
The lyrics talk about using a glove and lotion for sexual pleasure.

That's what Carrie was like
Carrie was enjoying it.

One stroke and I was gone
After one stroke, the singer experienced orgasm.

When your schoolyard baby comes home
The song ends with a message to remind parents that their children may have sexual experiences at a young age.

And it's all that's on their mind
Sexual experiences may be something that children keep thinking about.

Try 2 remember how U felt your very first time
Parents should try to remember how they felt when they had their first sexual encounter.

We never want it 4 the children of our own
Although sexual experiences at a young age may happen, parents hope that their own children don't have to go through the same thing.

We all pray better seeds we have sown
Parents hope that they can raise their children in a way that will prevent them from having early sexual experiences.

But one story that is most commonly known is gettin' it on in the schoolyard
The song talks about a common story of young people engaging in sexual activities in the schoolyard.
