Album:

Whoa, Nelly!

I've seen a man cry, I've seen a man die inside 
I've seen him say to me that he is only mine 
That he gotta do what is best for him 
Never let me in, not even begin 
To tell me I'm the one under his moon and sun 
That I am the thing that revolves around him 
But while on top of him I know what's best for him 
I'll show him how to win and let me in cuz 


I don't wanna be your baby girl 
I don't wanna be your little pearl 
I just wanna be what's best for me 
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun 


We're all sorry now, I didn't mean to wow 
Make you cry like that, it's just a little spat 
Still I want you to know, though I love you so 
It's mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing 
That you're an ideal, hell I never steal 
But I stole you from, from another one 
So take yourself and wrap around my little finger 
Cuz that's how it should swing 


I don't wanna be your baby girl 
I don't wanna be your little pearl 
I just wanna be what's best for me 
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun 


Why can't he see, why can't he see what's inside of me, yeah... don't you, don't you call me coochie-coo a little girl, now... don't you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now I'm so much more, can't you see? Can't you see? 
Look who's writing now a token of their love 
Can't you see love that it's just because 
I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head 
And not a cheap way to get inside your bed 
Oh you're running now, with that silly one 
It's all over now, this woman's just begun 
Maybe we'll see about the will and the way 
Butterflies return some day 


I don't wanna be your baby girl 
I don't wanna be your little pearl 
I just wanna be what's best for me 
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun
