Won't Work

Yeah

Why you asking questions?

Why you wondering where I am?

Why you always wanna include me in all your plans?

Why you gotta be the one to tell them you're my man?

If you really were d'you think you'd have to say that?

Don't you know the reason why I'm here is cause of me?

I don't need your money, I stand on my own two feet

Boy, you know I'm independent yeah, and that's a fact

That's the way it's always been so dont try and change that, no

I can't be your princess

I can't be your queen

Na, na, na, na, no, it won't work with me

Slipping through your fingers

Untied at the seams

Na, na, na, na, no, it wont work

I like to set my boundaries, so I know when to stop

And so you know I'll wear the trousers, put me at the top

I don't need your muscles baby, I'll put up the shelf

Are you feeling threatened? Well go find somebody else

Grew up with my single mother, see her as the king

That's the way I learnt, so, I'm sticking to the routine

Power to the females, we don't miss the details

I can see the way that you want me, yeah

I can't be your princess

I can't be your queen

Na, na, na, na, no, it won't work with me

Slipping through your fingers

Untied at the seams

Na, na, na, na, no, it wont work

With me, yeah, yeah

(Won't work, won't work, no)

(Won't work, won't work, no)

(Won't work, won't work, no)

Can't buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones

Catch me in silver, never gold

You say I'm cryptic, but that's just old, I'm a lone soldier

Can't buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones

Catch me in silver, never gold

You say I'm cryptic, but, but, but but

Oh, it won't work with me and I know I can't be your queen

Na, na, na, na, no, it won't work with me

Slipping through your fingers

Untied at the seams

Can't buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones

Catch me in silver, never gold

You say I'm cryptic, but, but, but, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can't buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones

Catch me in silver, never gold
