[Shabba:] Young men have strength but that ain't enough,
She wants a man to give her the good stuff,
True! She wants to pay the light bill and rent,
You know you gotta have a big dividend,
Down the line, your pockets gotta be deep,
Make sure that the man has strength to keep.

[Krystal:] Stood up for me when no one cared.
Stood up for me where other men wouldn't dare,
Made me know when a real man loves,
Never made me feel he's old,
Never gave me love that was cold,
You better watch your food,
Old men will dip into your plate.

[Shabba:] Now if a woman has an old man, she ain't gonna find that wrong,
Now she's dealing with a foundation,
Living with a young man will mess up her plans,
And she wants some dollars in her hands.
