[Intro: Aaliyah]
Age ain't nothin' but a number, nothin' but a number
Age ain't nothin' but a number, nothin' but a number
Age ain't nothin' but a number, nothin' but a number
Age ain't nothin' but a number, number, number, number–ber

[Chorus: André 3000]
Pretty pink, baby blue
(Why don't) Why don't you teach me something new?
(We're all) We're all just babies in my view
So crawl, baby, crawl, baby
Pretty pink, baby blue
(Why don't) Why don't you teach me something new?
(We're all) We're all just babies in my view
So crawl, baby, crawl, baby

[Verse 1: André 3000]
Miss Lady, you could have been born a little later—but I don't care
So what if your head sports a couple of grey hairs?
Same here, and, actually, I think that's funky
(In a Claire Huxtable-type of way)
Miss Lady—it looks to me like you need a little juice in your life
Call me when that big ol' house gets lonely-fied
And I'll teleport from here to there
You show me how it's supposed to be done
I'll make sure you have young fun

[Chorus: André 3000]
Pretty pink, baby blue
(Why don't) Why don't you teach me something new?
(We're all) We're all just babies in my view
So crawl, baby, crawl, baby
Pretty pink, baby blue
(Why don't) Why don't you teach me something new?
(We're all) We're all just babies in my view
So crawl, baby, crawl, baby

[Verse 2: André 3000]
You're sophisticated
Just me and Miss Lady
You've got me talkin' like a baby (You make me talk baby talk)
(Baby talk) She's sophisticated (You make me talk baby talk)
Just me and Miss Lady (She makes me talk baby talk)
You got me talkin' like a baby, like "ga-ga" and "goo-goo"
Oh, mo-mmauhhhhhhh, yeah
You're sophisticated (You make me talk baby talk)
Just me and Miss Lady (You're so experienced)
You got me talkin' like a baby (Teach me somethin' new)
Teach me somethin' new
You're sophisticated
Just me and Miss Lady
You got me talkin' like a baby
Sophisticated
Just me and Miss Lady

OutKast

Atlanta, Georgia natives André “André 3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton are OutKast, one of the most successful rap groups of all time. Along with the production crew Organized Noize and the Dungeon Family collective, André and Big Boi helped popularize and expand the sound of rap in the “Dirty South.”

The duo connected at Tri-Cities High School and after the names “2 Shades Deep” or “The Misfits” didn’t work out, they went with OutKast as a synonym of “misfit.” They signed to LaFace Records in 1992 prior to finishing high school and their first official appearance came on a remix to TLC’s hit single “What About Your Friends.” This led into their debut single “Player’s Ball” being released in 1993 and their debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik following in 1994. They had a pivotal moment early in their career as they were named New Artist of the Year at the 1995 Source Awards, leading them to be booed by the New York crowd and André responding with his iconic “The South got somethin' to say.”

Their next two albums, ATLiens (1996) and Aquemini (1998), have sparked debates as to which album is superior. ATLiens saw the duo begin to produce their own music and increase their profile while Aquemini received a perfect “5 Mic” rating from The Source magazine. Their next album, Stankonia (2000), further solidified their superstar status with the hit singles “B.O.B.,” “So Fresh, So Clean” and “Ms. Jackson,” which won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group while Stankonia won a Grammy in the Best Rap Album category.
