261.5 Lyrics by Tony! Toni! Toné!

Who?

1988

[Intro: Judge, D'Wayne Wiggins]
Would the bailiff call Mister Tony
Mister Tony, please rise
You stand accused of violating California Penal Code 261.5
Falling in love with a minor
Mister Tony, how do you plead?
Well, your honor, guilty
But, with an explanation...
[Verse 1: D'Wayne Wiggins]
Always thought I had a little sexy way
Of picking women up, fellas
But she was kinda different, guess you'd say risqué
And that's what caught my attention
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
These sights on bright eyes, strong mind
She came onto me
How was I to know that she was only fifteen?
Cute smile, style and grace, sure looked right to me
Now I fell a victim of a 261.5
[Post-Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, D'Wayne Wiggins]
Hanging out in B-Town, thought I'd chill out
And find myself a legal tender (And now I'm)
I'm in a position, must get worked out
Now I fell a victim of a 261.5
[Interlude: D'Wayne Wiggins, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Woo, she's right, man, oh, my 261.5
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you got to meet her
[Verse 2: D'Wayne Wiggins, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
I was too naive to see through a lie
She told me age was only a number
You should have seen how this lady got her kicks
You never would have thought she was twenty-one minus six
[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Bright eyes, strong mind, she came onto me
How was I to know that she was only fifteen?
Cute smile, style and grace, sure looked right to me
Now I fell a victim of 261.5
[Post-Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Hanging out in Westwood, thought would be good
Find myself a legal tender, oh
Now I'm in a position, must get worked out
I gotta find myself a lawyer now
[Interlude: D'Wayne Wiggins, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Oh, I'm...
You know, when we first met
I was walking around in B-town, right
Chillin' with me and my homies
She came up, she was in a plaid skirt
I wanted to flirt, I told her, "Come here, baby"
She told me she had a friend
But I said, "Hold it, look
(Hanging out in Georgetown, thought would be down)
I don't know how to come at a young girl
So I'ma tell you right off the top
(Find myself a legal tender, oh)
You might be a little young but you look right to me
So what we can do is...ooh...
(I'm in a position, must get worked out
Now I fell a victim of a 261.5)
Ooh, do you know what that means?
[Outro: Tony! Toni! Toné!, D'Wayne Wiggins]
People, let me tell you about my best friend
She's the one that tells turns me on, my 261.5, yeah
People, let me tell you about my best friend
And oh, you got to meet, you got to meet my 261.5
People, let me tell you about my best friend
The girl was so bold, it was hard for me to control
261.5
