Lyrics

Danny: Yo, Jordan! What's up?

Jordan: Hey Danny! What's happening?

Oh, here comes little Joey Joe down the street

Joe: Ho! What's happenin' fellas?

Jordan: Yo, there's Jon, but has anyone seen Donnie?

Danny: I don't know, but I thought I saw him walking towards the corner store.

Joe: Nah, he's at the park playing ball

Jon: Oh, here he comes now

(ad libbed greetings)

Donnie: Hey Guys!

Danny: Where have you been?

Donnie: Man, I've got a story to tell!

All: HIT IT!

Donnie:

Saw a homegirl at the corner store

Eyes started bugging, mouth fell to the floor

She had a miniskirt and a sexy pose

I tried to rap to her, but I just froze

Tell me now fellas, what can I do?

To make a girl like me, like a girl likes you?

Danny:Well Homeboy get ready!

Joe: 'Cause you want correcting

Jordan: 'Cause a girl needs love

All: And plenty of affection

Jon: If a girl were mine, I'd give her the world

I'd buy her diamonds and pearls just to make her my girl

Jordan: That might work with your girl, but not with mine.

She's not the type of girl to fall for any line

Joe: I'd take her out to dinner, treat her like a winner

I may be young, but I'm no beginner

Danny: All your ways are good, but not as good as mine

You have to be sincere for a girl that fine!

Chorus

Baby, won't you please be mine?

Are you down?

Baby, won't you please be mine?

Are you down? HO!

Danny: Alright then, D., since you gave it a try

All: Tell us about the girl who caught your eye

Donnie:

It was after school and I was feeling cool

'Til I saw that girl and I started to drool

So I thought to myself, take it easily

I couldn't let peer pressure get the best of me

I thought to myself, what should I do?

That's when she came up on me and said 'I love you'
