Lyrics

Like a Virgin

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Fifteen years old, thought I was in love

I was never told, sex is like drugs

Too much'll drive you crazy -- in fact

the brother was so good, had me comin back

Took my virginity, like he took my heart

I had to find the Lyte, he left me in the dark

All alone, no one to be with

And the brothers they ask me why I riff

I got hard, grew a shell upon my back

I had to get a grip, to keep my life intact

I had to let em know, Lyte is not fragile

Cause if they think this, brothers can get - foul

They'll use, bruise and abuse

Dump your ass and be sure to choose

the next fresh fish that steps into the place

If they desire, they forgot your face

Lovin them and leavin them, that was their reasonin

Thinkin he was pleasin you, when he was just TEASIN you

Summer was over, back in school

He said come over, that would be cool

I said OK, it's been a year now

Some even asked why, some even asked how

could you wait that long, for me to be with it

Some said yo Hobbes, you're never gonna get it

But then the time came, you and I both came

Things would soon change, never would they be the same

Before this afternoon, took place

I was in love, I walked around in space

I'd rush home from school just to speak to you

Talk for an hour, maybe even two

We'd just laugh though, nothing serious

I guess back then, you were just curious

to see what I was like, just to touch my flesh

I could be wrong though, that's my first guess

..

You was in your house, I was in mine

As long as we were chattin on the line, it was fine

All alone, yet talkin on the phone

If you got bored you felt your bone

and as bad as I am, I talked you through every stroke --

Lyte ain't no joke!

You've been beggin for some time, for me to come visit

You never got mad though, if I wasn't widdit

But this day was different, I was feelin in the mood

for some slow type of groove or some soul food

In other words sex, yeah that's better

I threw on the Jordache, the Izog sweater

That was in style then, come on don't laugh

Sergio's, Lee's, you wore those in the past

Anyway I arrived, twenty past five

He'd been hypin himself, sayin he was quite live

I said here's your chance, show me some romance

We begin to slow dance, off with his pants

BOOM it was over, damn that was quick

Too bad little homey had a widdle widdle *HORN*

The only one I've seen, cause yo he was the first

But since I've had others, damn he was the worst

I was in love though, that didn't matter

Nothin you could say, could ever shatter

my world, take it away, just a young little girl

Oh well

He stepped, jet, family moved

Leavin me in the mood for some soul food

Damn I felt hurt, just like a jerk

Would somebody PLEASE just mush my face in dirt

so I can hide, from the whole fuckin world

WHAT THE FUCK IS LOVE, such a naive girl!

Suppose I got pregnant, damn I'd be lost

My mom woulda kicked me out to live with Jack Frost

I guess I'm lucky though, lonely for sure

Waitin for the fucker to come knockin at my door

I didn't hold my breath though, I might be dead

Yo 45, next time I'll use my head
