  • Click your heals and feel you come for me
    Care free, she's got something big to tell me
    At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
    There's no simple way to let you know
    Funny how she always cried out daddy
    I got a big surprise, she said

    I'm in trouble now and it cannot wait
    She's ten days late
    Boy, your life got complicated
    Well I can't wait to see this through
    She's ten days late, ten days late

    Low ride bicycles go cruising by
    I laugh, I don't even know why
    Talk back at the ocean
    Consequence and ozone catch a glow
    Oh no, baby, oh no no

    Give me a minute now to figure out my state
    Oh, I know she's ten days late
    And I don't know where to take it
    But it's still great knowing you
    She's ten days late, ten days late

    Time has come for you to choose
    Baby daddies keep your boo
    Many blessings come to you
    Baby daddy keep your boo

    Your eyes look to me for what to do
    I can't lie, I don't know
    At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
    No one's laughing, now what do I say
    I walk away but, oh no, don't go
    At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
    Give me a minute now to figure out my state
    She's ten days late
    And I'm never going to fade it
    I guess I'll always be knowing you
    Knowing you, knowing you
