Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every woman's got a backup plan
If you ever start actin' crazy, you know
If there's a maybe
Every woman's got a backup plan
You need to know
She's in control
Ay, ay, ay, every woman needs a backup man
[Verse 2]
Now if you let me, girlfriend, I'm gon' keep it real with you
There ain't no difference in the men that we're attracted to
No job, no house, no car, and an attitude
Well, they break us down and then in fact, they put the blame on you
Act like a woman, think like a man
Please understand, every woman's got a backup plan
[Verse 3]
If you ever start actin' crazy, you know
If there's a maybe
Every woman's got a backup plan
You need to know
She's in control
Ay, ay, ay, every woman needs a backup plan
[Verse 4]
Pay close attention
Intuition that never would steer
You in the wrong direction
Keep out the imperfection
Change up your game, don't get caught outside in the rain
You can't keep doin' the same, expectin' shit to change
Act like a woman, think like a man
Please understand, every woman's got a backup plan
[Verse 5]
If you ever start actin' crazy, you know
If there's a maybe
Every woman's got a backup plan
You need to know
She's in control
Ay, ay, ay, every woman needs a backup man
[Verse 6]
(Get yourself a back up plan) Backup plan
(Oh, yeah) Every woman's got a backup plan
Every woman's got a backup plan
[Verse 7]
'Cause of you, I've learned (Because of you, I've learned)
Loved you sometime
(Love is such a crime)
Now that I understand it, baby
I got a backup plan
[Verse 8]
Ignore brings more, that's why you're knockin' at my door
You taught me well, that's why I won't pick up myself
Don't get in your head, baby, because my phone was dead
Ain't that the same thing?
[Verse 9]
Every woman's got a backup plan
If you ever start actin' crazy, you know
If there's a maybe
Every woman's got a backup plan
You need to know
She's in control
Ay, ay, ay, every woman needs a backup man
[Verse 10]
Oh
Oh
Every woman's got a backup plan
Every woman needs a backup man
