Lyrics:
Won't someone tell me what is happenin' to me?
Why am I so misunderstood?
Why can't they see?
Now I'm caught between the devil and the angel
That I used to be
They say I'll understand it all in good time
But age ain't nothin' but a number in my mind
I'm going crazy with this push me pull me
Caught between wrong and right
I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys
I started writing down my deepest secrets
Seven days a week of truth and fantasy
Got the feelin' that the way my life is
Got to be prepared for changes
Won't someone tell me what is happenin' to me?
Why am I so misunderstood?
Why can't they see?
Now I'm caught between the devil and the angel
That I used to be
I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase
I wanna go left but they tell me go right
Don't wanna be the little girl they're kissin' goodnight
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys
They can try to make me write a thousand lies
But that won't ever change the way I feel inside
They've got their opinions but I just don't care
'Cause that's not what I wanna hear
I, I must, I must not chase the boys
I, I must, I must not chase the boys
I must, I must, I must not chase the boys
I wanna give in to the woman in me
I wanna be someone they don't want me to be
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase
I wanna go left but they tell me go right
Don't wanna be the little girl they're kissin' goodnight
The moral of the story is I got no choice
I must not chase the boys

[@FeggyMin]

IKR?! I still come to their songs almost every day!! I loved them sooo much, their voices, styling, music, concepts, personalities... they had it all... they could have gone soooo far and it always makes me sad. especially wish we had many more music videos, the whole REPLAY album was a masterpiece - ahead of its time

I wish I was born when the original 4 were together I was born p 4 when don't stop the music came out I can't believe the original 4 are all mother now rosie is my favorite I love her solo songs

[@JordanMcCoyFan94]

Yes, I agree! They were all so talented. I was obsessed with their music as a kid.

[@pablocalzadamahave8889]

Actually, she went solo in the years 2012-2014. She quit the music industry in 2014 after her album got shelved. You can check some of those songs in youtube: "Water against the rock", "Silent", "Breathe Out" are some of them. Most songs of the album leaked back in the day but only like 5 are available in youtube now.

[@leahthompson7829]

Faye Hamlin is one of the most talented female vocalists of all time. A teenager here and absolutely SLAYING.

Same. Especially knowing how many sleazy industry execs there were back then. I like the song itself though. Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera makes me feel the same way.
