Lyrics

Now I may not be what your folks want you to have But baby, I'm for ya And all your friends might look at me and laugh But baby, I love ya A rich man with lots of money Oh, that's what they had planned for you But girl, you know life is funny Sometimes plans, they don't come through I may not be what you want Be what you want (be what you want) Oh girl, I may not be what you want But baby I'm the one you need, yeah Don't let nobody choose what you want Choose what you want (choose what you want) Don't let nobody choose what you want Because it's your heart that's gonna bleed (oh) Oh, yeah Now I heard your brother say to your daddy (daddy), "He's an alright fella" Then I heard your mother say, "She's your daughter" (daughter) You deserve better I don't care what they say about me Oh, as long as I satisfy you And as long as I can hold you in my arms All I want to do is make you believe me Believe me, believe me I may not be what you want Be what you want (be what you want) Oh girl, I may not be what you want But baby I'm the one you need, yeah Don't let nobody choose what you want Choose what you want (choose what you want) Don't let nobody choose what you want 'Cause baby it's your heart that's gonna bleed, yeah yeah yeah I may not be what you want Be what you want (be what you want) Oh girl, I may not be what you want But baby I know that I'm the one you need, yeah
