Lyrics

#1 Stop It Girl

Stop it! Stop it, Girl!
Stop it! Stop it, Girl!

I said stop it, girl. Look what you’re doing to me
It’s just not right. Can’t you see?
This ain’t the way it’s supposed to be,
I should be lovin’ you and you lovin’ me

[mechanical voice] Stop Girl, before he breaks your heart

Stop girl, before he breaks your heart
I’m the one who loves you, right from the start
Stop girl, don’t let him bring you down
I’m the one who loves you and I’ll be around

He could never love you like I love you, girl
He could never say the things, like I need you in my world
Girl, I really love you, but you won’t give me your time
You tell me that he loves you so and you can’t make up your mind

Girl, he’s not true
Now I know there’s lovin’ for you
It’s all not true
It’s not true, baby
OOOOOOOH

[Chorus]

I guess I’m gonna love you for my whole life long
Girl, he’s not the one for you, I can tell you nothing wrong
Tell me that you love me, let me take you by the hand
Girl, my love is oh so true, try and understand

Girl, it’s so true
All of my lovin’ for you
It’s all so true
So true, Baby
OOOOOOOH

Stop it, Girl!
Stop it, Girl
[Electric guitar bridge]

Stop Girl, before he breaks your heart
(Don’t let him break your heart)
I’m the one that loves you, right from the start
(Right from the start)
Stop Girl, don’t let him bring you down
(don’t let him bring you down)
I’m the one that needs you and I’ll be around
(I’ll be around)
Stop it Girl, before he breaks your heart
(Oh Baby)

Don’t let him
Don’t let him
Don’t let him
Bring you down

[repeat chorus to fade out]

#2 Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)

I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
(Now didn’t I do it, baby, didn’t I do it, baby?)
Gave you the love you never knew, girl, oh
(Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?)
I’ve cried so many times and that’s no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry

[Chorus:]
Didn’t I blow your mind this time
Didn’t I
Didn’t I blow your mind this time
Didn’t I, this time?

I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
(Now, didn’t I think it, baby, didn’t I think it, baby?)
But this time I’m really leaving you girl, oh
(Hope you know it, baby, hope you know it, baby)

Ten times or more, yes, I walked out that door
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more

[Chorus:]

(Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?)
(Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?)

Ten times or more, yes, I walked out that door
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more

[Chorus Ad lib :]

[Spoken: ]
Girl, can we talk for a second?
(Baby can we talk)
I know it’s been a long time
Since someone blew your mind, like I did
(Ooh, baby)
But there’ll be other times
(Didn’t I blow your mind it happens all the time)
For me and you
(All the time)(Ooh, baby)
And I can see the tears fallin’ from your eyes
(I can see the tears falling from your eyes)
Tell me girl did I blow your mind?

[Chorus and fade:]

#3 Popsicle

[Chorus]
You’re my pop-si-cle!
From the very first time I met you, Girl, you captured me
You’re my pop-si-cle!
All I know is that you make me feel so fancyfree.

Gonna love you for a lifetime
And I know you’re gonna love me too
You make me feel, feel so real
And it feels so good, through and through

Sweeter than candy
Better than cake
And everytime we kiss
It feels oh so great

Girl, can’t you see?
You’re the one, you’re the one for me!

[Chorus]

When I call you up on my favorite party line
You sound so sweet, Girl. You’re blowing my mind
Our love is much better than any other I know
And it keeps on growing, more and more

Girl, can’t you see?
You’re the one, you’re the one for me!

[Chorus]

POP POP POP POP POP POPSICLE!

Hey, hey, little girl with your pretty dress on
I’ve been wanting you to want me for my whole life long
You knock me off my feet, girl, you’re a super treat
When I see you in the street you make my heart skip a beat

You’re the one who makes me feel alright
When I look into your eyes, you know you’re really out of sight
I’m for you and you’re for me
We could stay together so easily

POP POP POP POP POP POPSICLE!

Girl, can’t you see?
You’re the one, you’re the one for me!

[Chorus ]

POP POP POP POP POP POPSICLE!
[repeat to fade out]

#4 Angel

(Angel)
(Angel)
[Chorus:]
Angel, baby you make my dreams come true
Angel, spend my whole life pleasing you
Angel, baby you are the one for me
Angel, come and set my lovin’ free

Baby, you are the best thing in my life
You know you’re sweeter than sugar and spice
Baby, you are for me, you know, a dream come true
I want to spend my whole life loving only you

There are so many things that we can do
Just give me a chance to (move it all to) you

[Chorus ]

Every day, girl, when I come home from school
I can hardly wait to talk to you
Nobody can ever take your love from me
I really love you girl and that’s the way it’s got to be

There are so many places we can go
Let’s see a movie at the picture show

[Chorus ]

[Spoken]
Yo! Is everybody here?
Yeah!
Jon?
I’m here!
Donnie and Danny?
We’re here!
Jordan and Joe?
I’m here…. and I’m here!
Since everybody’s here, let’s tell Ôem what Angel means!
Word up!
A!! It means I’m always gonna love you
N!! I’m never gonna leave you
G!! It’s for your good, good lovin’
E!! It’s for your everlasting love
L is ’cause I love you, really, really love you

[Repeat Chorus and fade ]

#5 Be My Girl

Girl, I think it’s time
That I let you know
About the way I really feel
I just can’t wait no more
Be my baby
Be my girl

I wanna be the one
That steals your heart away
I wanna hold you in my arms
And fill you with all my charms
(Be my baby)
Be my girl
(Be my girl)

Baby, I love it when we’re walkin’
Darlin’, I love it when we’re talkin’

When you touch my hand
You brighten up my day
No one else can make me feel
Girl this special way
Be my baby
Be my girl
(Be my girl)

Baby, I love it when we’re walkin’
Darlin’, I love it when we’re talkin’

(Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl)
Yeah
(Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl)
Girl it’s for real
All this love that I feel

Girl, I think it’s time
That I let you know
About the way I really feel
I just can’t wait no more
Be my baby
Be my girl

Won’t you be my girl
(Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl)
Be my girl, baby
(Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl)

#6 New Kids On The Block

We know you’ve heard this beat many, many times
But we bet you’ve never heard it with such a vicious rhyme
A rhyme with class and plenty of clout
To show you sucher M.C.’s what it’s about
We hear the same stories everywhere we go
Hey, it’s Nynuk who stole the show
So for all you party people who are in a state of shock
We’re The New Kids On The Block!

Chillin’ on the corner, the first day we arrived
From the looks of the hoods, we didn’t think we’d survive
Second day we were there, we were walking down the street
With a rhyme in mind and a funky beat

But when we turned into the alley, to our surprise
We saw a bunch of hoods right before our eyes
They looked us up and down once, twice and again
There must have been a hundred to a hundred and ten
So, I looked over my shoulder right at my friend
He said ‘Nice knowing you’ but this is the end

So we battened down the hatches and prepared to fight
Then all of a sudden I seen the light
The time was right, the time to rock
‘Cause everybody knows, we’re The New Kids On The Block.

We’re also devistating when we’re on stage
The fans start screaming and yelling with rage
With mic’s in hand and rhymes with clout
So watch it sucker MCs or we’re gonna turn you out

We never talk trash, our rhymes are clean
Our rhymes are never vague and we say nothing obscene
So any sucker MCs who wanna battle us
Can you go at least 20 lines without a cuss?
Cause once we start to jam, you’ll be in a state of shock
Clear the way party people, we’re The New Kids On The Block

Move it sucker MCs or you’re gonna feel the wrath
So don’t get caught up in the aftermath
Cause we’re the funky MCs of the hip hop craze
Our rhymes are done by law and are sure to amaze

With a DJ cutting records, steady cross bass
We’ll leave all you party people stuck in a daze
I say we’re fresh, new and you know it’s true
Now let me introduce you to the rest of the crew

J, he’s fresh. He’s the master of mix
There ain’t no rhyme that he can’t fix
Spinster’s next, he’s the king of the spin
And if you wanna battle, you ain’t gonna win

Then there’s Popeye, but we call him Joey
The kid’s so fresh, you’ll never be bored
Next is jon, whose word is true
But the party people know him as the runner GQ

I’m Dexter P. the wizard of word
I’m the greatest MC that you’ve ever heard
Now that you know we’re a gang and you know we don’t play
We’re The New Kids On The Block, and we’re here – to – stay!

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, ROCK!!!

#7 Are You Down?

[Danny:] Yo, Jordan! What’s up?
[Jordan:] Hey Danny! What’s happening?
Oh, here comes little Joey Joe down the street
[Joe:] Ho! What’s happenin’ fellas?
[Jordan:] Yo, there’s Jon, but has anyone seen Donnie?
[Danny:] I don’t know, but I thought I saw him walking towards the corner store.
[Joe:] Nah, he’s at the park playing ball
[Jon:] Oh, here he comes now
[ad libbed greetings]
[Donnie:] Hey Guys!
[Danny:] Where have you been?
[Donnie:] Man, I’ve got a story to tell!
[All:] HIT IT!

[Donnie:]
Saw a homegirl at the corner store
Eyes started bugging, mouth fell to the floor
She had a miniskirt and a sexy pose
I tried to rap to her, but I just froze
Tell me now fellas, what can I do?
To make a girl like me, like a girl likes you?

[Danny:] Well Homeboy get ready!
[Joe:] ‘Cause you want correcting
[Jordan:] ‘Cause a girl needs love
[All:] And plenty of affection

[Jon:] If a girl were mine, I’d give her the world
I’d buy her diamonds and pearls just to make her my girl

[Jordan:] That might work with your girl, but not with mine.
She’s not the type of girl to fall for any line

[Joe:] I’d take her out to dinner, treat her like a winner
I may be young, but I’m no beginner

[Danny:] All your ways are good, but not as good as mine
You have to be sincere for a girl that fine!

[Chorus ]
Baby, won’t you please be mine?
Are you down?
Baby, won’t you please be mine?
Are you down? HO!

[Danny:] Alright then, D., since you gave it a try
[All:] Tell us about the girl who caught your eye

[Donnie: ]
It was after school and I was feeling cool
‘Til I saw that girl and I started to drool
So I thought to myself, take it easily
I couldn’t let peer pressure get the best of me
I thought to myself, what should I do?
That’s when she came up on me and said ‘I love you’

[Donnie:] Who me?
[All:] Yeah, you!
[Donnie:] Couldn’t be!
[All:] But it’s true!

[Donnie:] So I rushed back home to tell you guys,
But not before I got a quick kiss goodbye!

[All:] Did you meet her friends?
[Donnie:] Yeah, they looked def.
[All:] Yo, that was fresh!
[Donnie:] Word! Let’s go left.
[Jordan:] So here goes the keys
[Joe:] On which it depends
[Jordan:] She’s got
[Joe:] One!
[Jordan:] Two!
[Danny:] Three!
[Jon:] Four!
[All:] Fresh girlfriends!

[Chorus ]

Are you down?
Are you down?
[repeat 5x]

[Chorus ]

Are you down?
Are you down?
[repeat]

[All:] Joey Joe!
[Joe:] Nimble and quick.
You have to be def to be down with my clique

[All:] Jon!
[Jon:]You know I’ve got the style
When I go into a party all the girls go wild

[All:] Danny D!
[Danny:] The prince! Make no mistake.
I’m the MC devistating. So cool and I break.(dance)

[All:] Don-nie! Donnie: That’s me, don’t give me no slack!
I get loose with the juice, ’cause I got it like that

[Ad lib stuff]

[Jordan:] Here we go!

[All, followed by mechanical voice:]
