Riff: Ne-Yo – “Story Time”

Jan 27, 2015

Aight boys and girls, gather ’round. Story time. Check this out/I said, “I wish you’d just give it a try/You’ve never done it, how you know what you don’t like?”/She said, “Am I not enough for you, is that why?”/I said, “No, I just think it would be sexy and kinda fly”/She said, “Well I don’t”/I said, “Well if I let you pick the girl, would that make a difference?”

from Story Time lyrics by Ne-Yo

Talking to kids about threesomes, yes he went there. That’s not a move he needs to make, that’s not a move anyone needs to make, but he’s trying to get away with it by masquerading the creepiness with soft acoustics, which makes it even more creepy. He’s trying to be cheeky, but is failing miserably.
