  • My homie since knee high
    We came up on the south side
    Where you had to beat the street lights home
    We got into some street fights
    But the next day we be right back get it all
    Wherever there was me, there was you
    And we were like crew
    Straight from junior high school
    Then you messed it all up
    Started pushing up
    Kissed me on the cheek
    And I fell in love

    Shorty's a little taller now
    Into big things, he's a baller now
    His heart never changed
    I can see he's still down
    I can't forget him (No no no no)
    More than his voice is changing now
    All that I see is rearranging now (Now)
    It just ain't the same
    Catchin' feelings now
    I should tell him (Yeah)

    [Chorus]
    Oh when the the boy next door (Next door)
    Don't want to be my homeboy no more
    Saw something that I never saw before
    I think he wants to be my baby, baby
    Been thinkin' bout him all my life (My life)
    Now I see him in a whole new light
    Something about it feels so right (That's why)
    I think he wants to be my baby, baby

    Every night when we get home
    Undercover talking on the phone
    Here comes my mother
    It's way too late
    Might get in trouble
    My heart can't wait (So much to take)
    Writing till my hand cramps up
    4 pages saying I'm in love (I got a crush)
    Can't get you off my mind (Can you pick me up baby)
    I'm sure I'll be fine when I look into your eyes

    Shorty's a little taller now
    Into big things, he's a baller now
    His heart never changed
    I can see he's still down
    I can't forget him
    More than his voice is changing now
    All that I see is rearranging now
    It just ain't the same
    Catchin' feelings now
    I should tell him (Gotta tell him that I love him)

    [Chorus]

    [Bridge: x2]
    Chocolate covered candy kisses
    They keep me reminiscing
    All I want is what your giving
    Nothing like your affection
    So in love and you're the reason
    There's no more lonely season
    Lately boy, you drive me crazy
    Think I wanna be your baby

    (Don't wanna be my homeboy no more)
    (Why why why why why)
    Now homeboy wants to be my baby, be my baby, be my baby
    (He don't wanna be my homeboy no more)
    (No more)
    (Said he)
    Now homeboy wants to be my baby, be my baby, be my baby
    (Wants to be my baby now, now, now now now) Writer/s: BALEWA M. MUHAMMAD, MARK BARKAN, RITCHIE ADAMS, ROOSEVELT III HARRELL, SYLVESTER JR. JORDAN, VINCENT J. HERBERT
