Rather

I'm crazy and I do admit

'Cause I don't like the friends you hang out with

They like to party way too much for me

They opportuners baby can't you see

I know you think I'm tryna lock ya down

'Cause I act funny when they come around

I just want you to be simply fair

Stay at home, don't go nowhere



Cause I'd rather you not go out

Cause I heard all what your friends about

How they be dancing in the spot

Gettin' freaky off the dock

That's enough to make me lose my cool

And I'd rather you watch a DVD

Than go out with them, come on and lay with me

Cause they down for whatever all birds flock together

That's enough to make me act a fool



I know your friends be talkin' in your ear

How I'm controlling, that's not it I swear

'Cause I don't care, do what you wanna do

As long as I can do the same to you

'Cause they always seem to lead you wrong

Until they find somebody then they're gone

I don't wanna seem like I'm the same

But if you chill at home I won't complain



Cause I'd rather you not go out

Cause I heard all what your friends about

How they be dancing in the spot

Gettin' freaky off the dock

That's enough to make me lose my cool

And I'd rather you watch a DVD

Than go out with them, come on and lay with me

Cause they down for whatever all birds flock together

That's enough to make me act a fool



Baby, please make an exception

Understand what I'm talkin' 'bout

Cause I don't want you thinkin'

That I don't want you goin' out

I just can't take knowin' how your friends get down

When they dancin' in the spot

Touchy feely in the dark

It'll only break my heart

Tear my whole world apart, yeah



Cause I'd rather you not go out

Cause I heard all what your friends about

How they be dancing in the spot

Gettin' freaky off the dock

That's enough to make me lose my cool

And I'd rather you watch a DVD

Than go out with them, come on and lay with me

Cause they down for whatever all birds flock together

That's enough to make me act a fool
