Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never cared too much for love
It was all a bunch of mush that I just did not want
Paid was the issue of the day
If a girlfriend's got some game
Couldn't be more fly, gettin' paid was everything
But I'm not every girl, and I don't need that world to validate me
'Cause shorty got job, shorty got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching
I just want real love
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
[Verse 2]
I was a girl about the floss
It was all about the cost, how much he spent on me
Seek, for a man who's got the means
To be givin' you diamond rings
It's what every fly girl could want or even dream
But I'm not every girl, and I don't need no G to take care of me
'Cause shorty got job, shorty got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, no-no
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching
I just want real love
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling (Most girls)
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching (Got my own)
I just want real love (I just want real love)
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
[Bridge]
I'm not every girl
And I don't need no G to take care of me, no
'Cause shorty got job, shorty got a car, shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, oh
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching
I just want real love (I just want real love)
Can you give me real love?
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the mean green (Most girls)
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the bling-bling
Got my own thing, got the ching-ching (Got my own real love)
I just want real love
[Chorus]
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
[Outro]
'Cause I'm not most girls
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Oh, everything
[Outro]
I, I just want real love
Said I gotta have real love
Everything that, can you be everything that I dream of?
