Hey love can I get a rain check
Just 25 I'm not ready yet
Hey love let's make a deal
Give me some time I got a few hearts to steal
Hey love got more grounds to gain
Can't get stuck with a ball and a chain
Hey love I need to be sure
Come back and see me in two years or more <i>(chorus)</i>
I remember as a kid I used to dream
I had a big crush on Sandra's kid sister jean
But she was in love with dwayne
Been so many years but I still feel the pain
What about the girl across the street
Took the same bus I use to reserve her seat
But she would just sit with her friends
And the all talk about guys in bimmers and Benz
Seem like my luck took a slide
Then shorty came along and stood by my side
I couldn't give her much but she stayed
Now I'm hitting all the charts its so easy getting laid
Living in style I'm getting paid
Hooking up my peeps with the millions I've made
Now I'm having girl who I knew in first grade
Now I'm kinda feeling like my shorty getting played
So I'm begging you
<i>[Chorus]</i>
Hey love can I get a rain check
Just 25 I'm not ready yet
Hey love let's make a deal
Give me some time I got a few hearts to steal
Hey love got more grounds to gain
Can't get stuck with a ball and a chain
Hey love I need to be sure
Come back and see me in two years or more
I wasn't popular in school I wasn't popular in sports
All the girls I love loved the guys on the court
I feel like I been cheated of my youth
Cause back in the days braces weren't so cute
Girls used to laugh at my suit
Now I got models in bed knocking boots
<i>[Chorus]</i>
I remember as a kid I used to dream
I had a big crush on Sandra's kid sister jean

I am a big Shaggy fan,but of all the Shaggy songs,this is probably one of the worst. The beat isn´t even a dancehall,reggae or ragga beat. It sound like some 80´s pop rock shit. the lyrics are fucked up too. Shaggy doesn´t wanna get married,so he starts talking about his life story. What??????
I like this song. I've been cheated on because the guy wasn't ready to make a commitment. It would have hurt a lot less if he just said, "Can I take a rain check...I'm not ready yet." Not that I would have just hung around and waited for him to be ready, but at least I wouldn't have been led on.
