Baby girl, I was your age a while ago
But it won’t be long before you’re mine
Listen, high school ain’t bad
There’s a difference between the screen & reality
No you won’t be bullied but learn to have a voice
It ain’t nothing wrong with being shy but don’t stay in that cocoon
I was there for too long and I missed too much
It ain’t nothing wrong with wanting a boyfriend
Understand no man is perfect so rid yourself of a checklist
Single women can’t be picky women baby girl
You’ll cry and cry but He will send you guys and you’ll be checking
Save yourself the tear filled days & nights
But you will meet a guy
Don’t worry about when he will come
Just know he will
It ain’t nothing wrong with who you are
You’re fun-sized, gorgeous, and intelligent
You’re a diamond who will make it through the pressure
Girls who couldn’t be you will dislike you
This is their problem not yours
Guys will look at you and like what they see
It’s up to you if they approach you
It ain’t nothing wrong with wanting friends
But too many ain’t where it’s at baby girl
One minute, everybody is cool
Then the next minute, there’s drama
We’re all human it happens
But baby girl, you don’t want to be around all that
Kick it with two or three
One if you have too, neither one is bad
You’re different baby girl
Accept that now and live your life
Five years from now, you’ll be my age
Don’t rush a minute of high school
14 and 19 are different ball games
Baby girl stay true to you
It ain’t nothing wrong with that
