You know what it's like?
Come on, come on
Baby, tell me
Do I look like the kinda girl that you wanna take home?
Wanna make me your own?
Do you even know what I like?
Just what I'm living for, what I adore?
Baby, take the time to realize
I'm not the kind to sacrifice the way I am
So, if you wanna be my man, baby
Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right, or I'm through
Can't you see that if you want to stay around
(I'm telling you), you've got to figure me out, boy?
Take your time, or you lose this is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously, baby
You don't know what it's like to be me
Do you know what it's like?
Do you know what it's like?
Don't you get it twisted, boy, I want you too
But you got my heart to win before I let you in
And this deceives you, baby
I'm not the average lady
I need someone to love
Baby, take the time to realize
I'm not the kind to sacrifice the way I am
So, if you wanna be my man, baby
Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right, or I'm through
Can't you see that if you want to stay around
(I'm telling you), you've got to figure me out, boy?
Take your time, or you lose this is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously, baby
You don't know what it's like to be me
Baby, get to know me
Then you can show me that you love for me is true
And I'll give you everything that a girl can give
Don't you want to be my man?
Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right, or I'm through
Can't you see that if you want to stay around
(I'm telling you), you've got to figure me out, boy?
Take your time, or you lose this is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously, baby
You don't know what it's like
Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right, or I'm through
Can't you see that if you want to stay around
(I'm telling you), you've got to figure me out, boy?
Take your time, or you lose this is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously, baby
You don't know what it's like to be me
