Baby, you're just a user
I know you've been running around
Well, girl, I'm not the loser you think
I ain't nobody's clown
You're not gonna get the best of me
There are three or four girls I got on a string
Tonight I'm going out and I'll do my thing
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat, tit for tat
Baby, I mean to show you
Messing round doesn't pay
You're gonna get back what I owe you in spades
Double trouble's coming your way
You're not gonna get the best of me
When I make up my mind, I'm a go-getter
I can do what you do, but I do it much better
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat, tit for tat
What's good for the goose
Is good for the gander
And I'm gonna do myself right
Baby, you'll discover
I'm some kind of lover
The barn door's open tonight
Girl you're just a hassle
Kicking my heart around
A man's home is his castle of love
But you tore the damn thing down
You're not gonna get the best of me, no
I'm splitting the scene, gonna have me some fun
Tonight number two is gonna be number one
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat, tit for tat
You're not gonna get the best of me
I'm splitting the scene, gonna have me some fun
Tonight number two is gonna be number one
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat
I'm telling you
What do you think of that?
Tit for tat
