[Intro] (You never, you never listen to me) (I'm just, I just wanna tell you, something)
Mama help I fell in love with a young girl
(That's true, so true) (You're the only girl I love too, but)
My heart was soakin' and I broke it in a young world
(So true, so true, listen)
[Verse 1] I wasn't trying to lead her on See I didn't want to be alone But when she smiles she brought me home So I brought her home Its not that the feeling of love is gone Can't expect a college girl to be grown I can't give a fuck what so and so says Crushes hurt both ways
What on earth, what I'm supposed to do What on earth, what I'm supposed to do What on earth, what I'm supposed to do Somebody tell me what I'm supposed to do

What on earth, what I'm suppose to do Young girl, so in love with you What on earth, what I'm supposed to do What on earth, what I'm supposed to do What on earth, what I'm supposed to do Somebody tell me what I'm supposed to do

[Verse 2] The single girls are out tonight ("hey, Pharrell!") But you have my word, my heart, my life And I'm not looking around So why you lookin' down? (what you lookin down for?)
I fucked up a long time ago See I should have never let you know See I couldn't give a fuck what tabloids say (As the People Magazine) And crushes hurt both ways
What on earth, what I'm supposed to do What on earth, what I'm supposed to do What on earth, what I'm supposed to do Somebody tell me what I'm supposed to do

[Verse 3 - Jay-Z] Hov got a young girl Hov got a young girl Still not quite 21 So high strung, such a vibrant thing I introduce myself, "Hi, Miss Thing" You're 19? No, you're lighting in a bottle I give you a ring tomorrow The scene that follows Screams of horror Classic Steven King novel Mama don't think you should take someone So advanced in romance, you should just wait Papa don't preach, Hov don't bite Hov been threw it I might mold your life Cause I'mma show you right Proper etiquette, how to hold your knife Keep it competitive with Oprah's ice Be like Janet, take control of your life
