Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jack, what you doing, Lord?
Who you trying to kid?
I ain't gonna be the one
You're bound to be with
But see, Jack, if it's easy
You can lay my body down, yeah
Tell me I'm your baby
Then just check right out of town
But see, Jack, I'm gon' fool you
I'm gonna look you 'tween the eyes
And tell you I ain't no man's prize
[Verse 2]
Jack, take it easy
Who you tryna fool?
Gonna lay my gavel on down
Claim exclusionary rule
But see, Jack, nobody's perfect
But we're perfectly aligned
You done had a woman
And I done had the time, Lord
But see, Jack, if there's one thing
You oughta open up your eyes
And see that I ain't no man's prize
[Verse 3]
Well, maybe there'll be one day
When you'll turn it all around
I can put my lean on someday
For when there's happiness abound
But for the moment, for the hour
I ain't leaving you no power
I ain't yours, you ain't mine
Par for the course, that's just fine
[Verse 4]
'Cause no matter how you slice it
You done made your bed of lies
And see, Jack, I ain't no man's prize
