What  is it we wanna do?
Now  that I'm allowed to be alone with you
Birthday  Girl its  your birthday
Wherever  you wanna go
Now  you are old enough to go and see the R-rated  show now
R-rated  show
 Yo, She said she was a magazine editor named Janine
 Backstage in high heels and painted on jeans
 Probably had the most devious eyes I'd ever seen
 Told me she was twenty-two she was only seventeen
 She had sumthin' to hide she snuck in from outside
 And got everybody gassed like the car I drive
 With all that grown lady ass and my far out vibe
 She said she came to see them roots boys fallout live
 But listen,
 What is it we wanna do?
 Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you
 Birthday Girl its your birthday
 Wherever you wanna go
 Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
 R-rated show
 You see them girls look good but they brains not ready
 I talk to a woman, he mind is more steady
 Probably something in the way they designed that's more steady
 I just let you recite cause the line so heavy
 But I shoulda known better cause now I feel like America's underbelly
 R. Kelly gutter smut peddlers, internet predators, chat-room irregulars
 This not my twist you trying to send me to the therapist, miss
 What is it we wanna do?
 Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you
 Birthday Girl its your birthday
 Wherever you wanna go
 Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
 R-rated show
 Now she told me cheddar cheese grits
 Two tomato fried fish
 Cause she heard its my dish
 Tryna be my sidekick
 All the people all around thinking she was my chick
 Saying DAMN the girl thick
 But she aint no twenty-six
 Looking at me like I'm up to sumthin' on the funny tip
 Like I ever been the one to honey jib
 Its your birthday so let me know the gift you wanna get
 In fact blow out the candles on the cake and make a wish for me
 They can't really seem to look away
 So they tried asking her to stay
 Fake I.D. you won't get turned away
 You look lovely tonight
 Now you are old enough to buy a gun
 So many better ways of having fun
 Right now I can only think of one
 You look lovely tonight.
 What is it we wanna do?
 Now that I'm allowed to be alone with you
 Birthday Girl its your birthday
 Wherever you wanna go
 Now you are old enough to go and see the R-rated show now
 R-rated show
