Lyrics
Many men make a big mistake
When dem treat dem girlfriend mean
Some of dem have a jealous mind
So dem try to fence her in
Don't you fence her in
Give her money but no fence her in
Don't you fence her in
If you want she stay no fence her in
I met a girl the other day
And I court her like a queen
She say she come to me for money
But I must not fence her in
Don't you fence her in
Give her money but no fence her in
Don't you fence her in
If you want she stay no fence her in
The first thing that she called down fa
Was a pair of ankle wrap
Mi open mi mouth fi go say something
But when she smile mi shut up, brap
Don't you fence her in
Give her money but no fence her in
Don't you fence her in
If you want she stay no fence her in
She ask mi next to fix her teeth
And I think she was too bold
But when she turn and make her sign
I would a full her mouth with gold
Don't you fence her in
Give her money but no fence her in
Don't you fence her in
If you want she stay no fence her in
She ask mi next for a spectacle
And I did not like the sauce
But she put some sorta kiss pon mi
I would a give her twelve eye glass
Don't you fence her in
Give her money but no fence her in
Don't you fence her in
If you want she stay no fence her in
She ask mi next for a twelve pound watch
And dat one gave me a shock
But when she whine her body line
I would a give her Parade Clock
Don't you fence her in
Give her money but no fence her in
Don't you fence her in
If you want she stay no fence her in
Later on I says to her
Is my time to call down now
And all I want is a baby boy
And I hope there'll be no row
She jump up with a piece a stick
And say, "Man you think mi da grin
For when want come talk bout baby boy
A fence you want come fence me in"
Don't you fence her in
Give her money but no fence her in
Don't you fence her in
If you want she stay no fence her in
