She stand up still like she never waan go And put her two hand dem pon her kimbo Di shoes a squeeze her from yaso to yaso She start skin her teeth like kidney furrow Mi see yam, dumplin, banana, and cocoa Dasheen and breadfruit, plantain and chocho [Chorus] Young girls wear yuh size Young girls wear yuh size 'Cause if you don't take mi advice Girls unuh woulda get blind [Verse 3] Hear me now, "Darling, what's the matter with you?!" Hear her, "Stitchie...you know me shame fi tell you" Mi say, "You nuh waan mi run come to your rescue?" She say, "Mi wear size 10 and buy a size 8 shoes" Mi laugh and say, "Gyal, you nuh easy at all" "Born with your foot big and you want it look small?" In the middle of crossroads mi buss out a laugh People gather 'round and everybody start laugh She kick off the shoes, everybody start laugh And everybody laugh 'til dem belly bottom cramp Gyal born with the foot size of a giant And want her foot look small just like an ant [Outro] But gyal, wear yuh size Young girls wear yuh size 'Cause if you don't take Stitchie's advice Girls unuh woulda get blind Phenomenal one, phenomenal two...
