Ooh girl, I've been watching you
And you've been acting
strangely lately, yeah
I've been watching you overnight
And you've been acting strangely
You're watching
too much soap
Behaving like you're on di -nasty
Said you wanna reach the stars
But you can't afford the ticket
Better come down off your horse,
join my program and stay with it
Please girl, don't play hero with me now,
heroes die young, yes
Boy now, didn't you know
that now now, ain't it
You really want my love girl to
hold on strong
Stronger now, stronger than that
Stronger, stronger, stronger than,
stronger than that
Warning one, always try to be a lady
Warning two,
never forget your pride and your dignity
Warning three,
don't overdo it when you test a brother
And the rest of the warning,
you don't need a reminder, no
Observing you on the ledge
Conclusion is you're crazy
Your actions day by day
Proves you're getting hasty
Say you're declaring war
And you can't afford the battle
Say you wanna play it rough
But you don't know how to tackle
Please girl,
don't play hero with me now
Heroes are young, so young,
so young now
Warning one, always try to be a lady
Warning two, never forget your
pride and your dignity
Don't overdo it when you test a
brother and the rest of the warning
You don't need a reminder, no
Don't think I'm coming down on you
A little bit too heavy
But at this stage of my life
I can't afford to live and maybe
I'd be telling a lie
If I said I didn't love you
I'd be so terrified if I
had to live without you
So girl, don't play hero with me,
no hero's die young
Didn't you know that girl,
you shoulda known that now
And if you really want my love,
you gotta hold on strong
Stronger now, stronger than that
She's a little bit stronger, hold on,
hold on, yeah, yeah
She's stronger baby, oh yeah,
stronger, stronger than, oh yeah
Hey girl, don't play hero with me now,
heroes die young
And if you really want my love,
you got to hold on strong
Stronger now, stronger baby now
Hey girl, don't play hero with me
Hero's die young, so young,
so young now
