[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
You terrify me cause youre a man, and not a boy
~#**************#~
You got some power, and I cant treat you like a toy
~#**************#~
Youre the road less traveled by a little girl
~#**************#~
You disregard the mess, while I try to control the world
~#**************#~
Dont leave me, stay here and frighten me
~#**************#~
Dont leave me, come now, enlighten me
~#**************#~
Give me all you got, give me your wallet and your watch
~#**************#~
Give me your first-born, give me the rainbow and the…
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
So go and challenge me, take the reins and see
~#**************#~
Watch me squirm, baby, you are just what I need
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And Ive never played a fair game
~#**************#~
Ive always had the upper hand
~#**************#~
But what good is intellect and airplay
~#**************#~
If I cant respect any man
~#**************#~
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
~#**************#~
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
You terrify me, weve still not kissed and yet Ive cried
~#**************#~
You got too close and I pushed and pushed hoping youd bite
~#**************#~
So I could run, run and that I did but through the dust
~#**************#~
You saw those teeth marks, they werent all yours
~#**************#~
You had been thrust into a history
~#**************#~
That had not worked for me
~#**************#~
Into a history, from which I could not flee
~#**************#~
So go on, shake me, shake until I give it up
~#**************#~
Wearin me down, baby, I know that we could make some love
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
So go and challenge me, take the reins and see
~#**************#~
Watch me squirm, baby, you are just what I need
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And Ive never played a fair game
~#**************#~
Ive always had the upper hand
~#**************#~
But what good is intellect and airplay
~#**************#~
If I cant respect any man
~#**************#~
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
~#**************#~
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
~#**************#~
[Interlude]
~#**************#~
[Chorus – Variation]
~#**************#~
And Ive never played a fair game
~#**************#~
Ive always had the upper hand
~#**************#~
But what good is intellect and airplay
~#**************#~
If I cant respect any man
~#**************#~
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
~#**************#~
No, Ive never played a fair game
~#**************#~
(Ive always had the upper hand)
~#**************#~
But what good is intellect and airplay
~#**************#~
(If I cant respect any man)
~#**************#~
And I want to play a fair game
~#**************#~
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
