Homeboy

My homie since knee-high

We came up on the south side

Where you had to beat the streetlights home

We got into some street fights

But the next day we be right back, get it all

Wherever there was me, there was you

And we were like crew

Straight to junior high school

Then you messed it all up

Started pushin' up

Kissed me on the cheek

And I fell in love

Shorty's a little taller now

Into big things, he's a baller now (now)

His heart never changed, I can see he's still down

I can't forget him, no, no, no, no

More than his voice is changing now

All that I see is rearranging now

It just ain't the same catchin' feelings now, yeah

I should tell him (uh, uh), yeah

You knew you were the boy next door (next door)

Don't wanna be my homeboy no more (no more, no more)

Saw something that I never saw before

I think he wants to be my baby (my baby)

Been thinkin' 'bout him all my life (my life)

Now I see him in a whole new light (yeah)

Something about it feels so right (that's mine)

I think he wants to be my baby, baby

Every night when we get home

Undercover talking on the phone

Here comes my mother

It's way too late

Might get in trouble

My heart can't wait

So much to take

Writing 'til my hand cramps up

Four pages saying, "I'm in love"

I got a crush, can't get you off my mind

Can you pick me up baby?

I'm sure I'll be fine when I look into your eyes

Shorty's a little taller now

Into big things, he's a baller now (now)

His heart never changed, I can see he's still down

I can't forget him, no, no, no, no

More than his voice is changing now

All that I see is rearranging now

It just ain't the same catchin' feelings now

I should tell him, gotta tell him that I love him

You knew you were the boy next door (next door)

Don't wanna be my homeboy no more

Saw something that I never saw before

I think he wants to be my baby

Been thinkin' 'bout him all my life (my life)

Now I see him in a whole new light

Something about it feels so right

I think he wants to be my baby, baby

Chocolate covered candy kisses

They keep me reminiscing

All I want is what you're giving (hmm, hmm)

Nothing like your affection

So in love and you're the reason (baby)

There's no more lonely season

Make me love you, drive me crazy

Think I wanna be your lady (baby)

Chocolate covered candy kisses

They keep me reminiscing

All I want is what you're giving

Nothing like your affection

So in love and you're the reason

There's no more lonely season

Make me love you, drive me crazy

Think I wanna be your baby

Oh, we oh, oh, oh, oh (don't wanna be my homeboy no more)

Oh, we oh, we oh, we oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, we oh, we oh, we oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, we oh, we oh, we oh, oh, oh, oh (why, why, why, why, why?)

(Now homeboy wants to be my baby, be my baby, be my baby)

Oh we, oh, oh, oh, oh

(He don't wanna be my homeboy no more)

Oh, we oh, we oh, we oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, we oh, we oh, we oh, oh, oh, oh (no more)

Oh, we oh, we oh, we oh (said he)

(Now homeboy wants to be my baby, be my baby, be my baby)

(Wants to be my baby now, now, now, now, now)
