Bulge In Your Wallet
Bulge In Your Wallet
From the bulge in your wallet
I can see the outline of a ring
Are you sure you are ready?
To be carrying that kind of thing
Don’t allow pressure to make you do
Something you’re not ready for
The consequence of your actions
Is nothing to ignore
Have you thought it through?
Is a moment’s pleasure worth the cost?
I come here as a friend
I’m not trying to be your boss
But the thought of you doing something
That could affect your entire life
Has given me reason for concern
Reason to feel such strife
There is no doubt you feel you’re old enough
Physically you’re probably right
But mentally are you ready?
For what happens in the night
If you’re sure you are ready
And I can’t change your mind
Make sure that condom in your wallet
Is used every time
