(Do you know what it's like, c'mon, c'mon)
Baby, tell me, do I
Look like that kind of 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 wanna stay around (I'm telling you)
You 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 is like? Do you know what is 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 wanna stay around (I'm telling you)
You got to figure me out (boy)
Take your time or you lose
This is my game, my rules
(And I got rules in my game too)
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 your love for me is true
And I'll give you everything
That a girl could give
Don't you wanna be my man?
Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
Can't you see that
If you wanna stay around (I\'m telling you)
You got to figure me out (you got to figure me out, baby)
Take your time or you lose
This is my game, my rules (this is my game)
And I can see, obviously (yeah)
Baby, you don't know
What it's like...
(B-b-breakdown!)
Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
(This is my game, baby)
Can't you see that
(Although I ain't playin', sugar)
If you wanna stay around (you)
You got to figure me out
(You got to figure me out)
Take your time or you lose (yeah)
This is my game, my rules (yeah, yeah)
And I can see, obviously
Baby, you don't know
What It's like to be me
