Do you know what it's like?
C'mon, C'mon
Baby Tell me do I look like the 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've got to figure me out boy
Take the time or you loose
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 its like?
Do you know what its like?
Don't you get it twisted boy
I want you too
But you got my heart to win
Before I let you in
If 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 tellin you)
You've got to figure me out
Take the time or you loose
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
And you can show me
that your love for me is true
And I'll give you everything
That a girl can give
So 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've got to figure me out (You've got to figure me
out baby)
Take the time or you loose
This is my game, my rules (This is my game)
And I can see, obviously,
Baby you don't know
What It's like
(No No You Don't)
(Breakdown)
Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through (This is my game baby)
Can't you see that
If you wanna stay around
You've got to figure me out (You've got to figure me
out)
Take your time or you loose
This is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously,
Baby You don't know
What It's like (to be me)
