VERSE 1:
I'm evasive I'm cool and I'm nobody's fool
And I'm layin' it on the line
You looked a mess
Cause my little black dress
Stopped you on a dime
Don't even try it your ticket has expired
And I'm just too tired to dance
Even if you want me
You're not gonna get me
Cause baby you had your chance
CHORUS:
Don't you want me now
Now that I'm trying not to try so hard
Don't you want me now
Don't you wonder how
You could've pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Don't you want me now
VERSE 2:
It's not really me it's somebody else
But I'm lovin' her just the same
The look on your face
When I walked in this place
Will remain forever on my brain
Cause the joke's on you
And it's long overdue
Tell me can you take the heat
Wanting to hassle the king in his castle
Revenge never tasted so sweet
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Who cares who wins 'cause just the same
I'm not into baby games
Yet you once swept me off my feet
Now look who's in the driver's seat
CHORUS:
Now, now that I'm trying not to try so hard
Don't you want me now
Don't you wonder how
You could've pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Don't you want me now
Don't you want me now
Don't you want me now
Don't you want me baby
Don't you want me now
Don't you
Don't you want me now
Oh, yeah
