i think when the "brownskin sugarplum" tells him that he might get hurt if he doesn't keep it hid...it's his love and intense feelings for this girl. she just wants to have fun, bang, and dance the night away. revealing how much he really loves her may turn her off...and she's letting him know that he shouldn't do this if they're to keep seeing each other. hey, correct me if i'm wrong. took it from a weird angle...hehe.
