Teena Marie - Ballad Of Cradle Rob & Me, The lyrics

Saw a cradle playin' in the schoolyard one day Pretty young boy, I takes him home to play Soon we was hangin' Venice alleyway Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me Rob and me lived on the same block He's kinny garden, I in knee socks He goin' play doctor over by the docks Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me Cradle's still fresh in junior high Rob ain't so fresh at fourteen Me, I was just the last word Ooh, have you heard the hearsay? I was robbin' the cradle, no, it wasn't that way I 'member one day back in '74 When Cradle's mama said it wasn't cute no more I was three years too old for her to ignore She said I was robbin' the cradle but it was Cradle Rob and me We hung around about a year after that 'Til Rob found another girl to put his hair in plaits And I said, "Girl, don't you worry me and we'll have none of that" Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me Cradle's semi fresh in college now Rob ain't so fresh at nineteen Me, I'm still the last word Ooh, have your heard the hearsay? I was robbin' the cradle, no, it wasn't that way Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me Robbin' the cradle, no, Cradle Rob and me
