So Tell Me Boy

[Palaver]

So Tell Me Boy


I’m not sure what’s your problem boy
And things aren’t looking good
Cuz if you want me for your toy
Then you’ve misunderstood

If your intent is to annoy
Which only makes me mad
You’ll be the one mistaken boy
When everything goes bad

It hasn’t been my interest, boy
And I’m not good at games
Or selfishness you might employ
I pray you feel the same.

See, I’m a simple kind of girl
As friends have testified,
If I’m with you, I am your world.
God help you if you’ve lied.

So tell me then boy, if you please,
Just how you really feel.
And I will put YOUR mind at ease,
If then, in fact, YOU’RE real.
