2:04
single, 1963
Written by Curtis Mayfield
The narrator of this song know what boys are like. They're all trying to get a girl, just for kicks, not for love. "The greatest pastime / In this man's world / Is playing tricks / On every young girl." But not this one! Her mama warned her about wolves in boys' clothing. The vibe is '60s girl-group R&B pop, but the message is modern and relevant. I like that syncopated rhythm section, and Bradley's terrific vocal strikes a balance between sweetness and quiet defiance.
