I'm not ready fi all dem tings yet

She call me kid, kid, kid
My mama kiss her kid
She say mi tooth-tooth sweet
She say mi tooth-tooth sweet
Don't make me feel like I love you
Just 'cause I thought you was special
Won't make me feel like I love you
Baby, girl, I won't settle
Yeah I had dreams of fuckin' the baddest bitch
Last night I awoke up and I fucked the baddest bitch
I thought I would be ready when I seen her
When I was in the disco
(I gotta keep it honest)
Keep it real with you

Mi and di mandem
We haffi run from half of di gyal dem
(You're so sweet, so sweet)
Dem want mi children and tings
Mi nuh ready fi all dem tings

Dem want mi children and tings
Mi nuh ready fi all dem tings
(So sweet, you're so sweet)
Mi nuh ready fi all dem tings
(So sweet, so sweet)

I strapped up 'cause they mapped up
'Cause I need to know where you are
Can't keep following these signs
'Cause you're lookin' for a sign, and I can't give you one
Start to feel like it's mad love
That's givin' your attraction, to me
Yeah, I just want you, nobody else, baby
I don't wanna get too far
It's just you that I want

When it's mi and di mandem
We haffi run from half of di gyal dem
(You're so sweet, so sweet)
Dem want mi children and tings
Mi nuh ready fi all dem tings
(So sweet, you're so sweet)
Mi nuh ready fi all dem tings yet
(So sweet, so sweet)
Mi and di mandem
We haffi run from half of di gyal dem
(You're so sweet, you're so sweet)
Dem want mi children and tings
Mi nuh ready fi all dem tings
(So sweet, you're so sweet)
Mi nuh ready fi all dem tings
