Lyrics
I remember back when you was just thirteen
And you would come around the corner, wouldn't act so mean
You'd make jokes with the corner store clerk Akeem
And ride your bike back home with your stick of ice cream
But then you turned sweet sixteen, what a shock
All the dogs at the corner store started to bark at ya
Musta been one of them that broke your heart
Now you're tryna safeguard it, fortify your fort
You keep runnin' and hidin'
You keep duckin' and dodgin'
You keep weavin' and bobbin'
(Don't stop)
You keep bouncin' about
Playin' cat and mouse
It's been wearin' you down
(Gon' hide my heart from)
You keep runnin' and hidin'
You keep duckin' and dodgin'
You keep weavin' and bobbin'
(Don't stop)
You keep bouncin' about
Playin' cat and mouse
It's gon' break you down
(Gon' hide my heart from)
When you turned nineteen, got your woman and freedom
And as for men, eh, really didn't need 'em
Except for your needs, and fo' that, you're willin' to cheat 'em
Part of playin' the game fair, you musta been dreamin'
So you let the dream die, started retreatin'
And can't figure out why, your nights are freezin' cold
Ain't no guy allowed to get that close, you're too fly
They all got ugly toes, you're too shy
It all boils down to the same alibi of a bird that can't fly
Scared in the middle of the night, that's why
You gotta give them wings one more try, but aight
You keep runnin' and hidin'
You keep duckin' and dodgin'
You keep weavin' and bobbin'
(Don't stop)
You keep bouncin' about
Playin' cat and mouse
It's been wearin' you down
(Gon' hide my heart from love)
You keep runnin' and hidin'
You keep duckin' and dodgin'
You keep weavin' and bobbin'
(Don't stop)
You keep bouncin' about
Playin' cat and mouse
It's gon' break you down
(Gon' hide my heart from)
Now you're all grown, alone
No matter how many men step foot in your home
The lock on your heart is an unbreakable code
'Cause it's locked in your mind that men got one mode
If you set your standards up too high to uphold
For any human knowin' they don't always have to be lowered
Just try to see inside for the intent of the soul
'Cause we all make mistakes at one time or another
If it was your daddy who had left your mama befo'
Just know that don't mean your life story's foretold
Of your own decisions, woman, you in total control
So don't let your opportunities at love grow cold
And if some stupid motherfucker showed his ass
Crassly disrespected you cheatin' on your final exam
For that one bad apple, don't blame the batch
Shake the tree 'til you can find a good catch, then you won't have to
Keep runnin' and hidin'
You keep duckin' and dodgin'
You keep weavin' and bobbin'
(Don't stop)
You keep bouncin' about
Playin' cat and mouse
It's been wearin' you down
(Gon' hide my heart from love)
You keep runnin' and hidin'
You keep duckin' and dodgin'
You keep weavin' and bobbin'
(Don't stop)
You keep bouncin' about
Playin' cat and mouse
It's gon' break you down
(Gon' hide my heart)
