Lyrics

It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be, yeah
You been hangin' 'round my boyfriend
You been sayin' that he's sweet, yeah
Well girl, I know that you been talkin'
Because the talk is on the street
You say that you
Are gonna steal his heart
Well, sweetie, you
Ain't gon' get that far
You're after somethin'
That don't belong to you
Well, girlfriend, I've got news for you
What are you tryin' to say Miss Thang, huh?
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never
Never, never, never, never, never, never
Gonna be your man
Oh, oh-oh, yeah
Oh, oh-ah
Ooh-ooh, ah-ooh-ah, oh yeah
Well, I just ain't the kind of woman
To pick the fruit off of your tree, girl
And you keep sayin' that he's your man
But that ain't what he said to me
See, he blows me kisses
As he drives away
He sends me roses
In the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you that he's
Thinkin' of
But I'm the one that
He really, really loves girl
So what am I tryin' to say?
Don't dis me girl
I said it isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never
Never gonna be, you'll see
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
Oh, it isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
Never, never, never
Never gonna be your man, girl
What are you doin' layin' and hangin' back?
Don't you know girl, hey?
Mm-hmm, just as I suspected
You been talkin' that la-la, na-ya-ya
And that yin and that yang
But the man is mine
Hey (Hey, hey, hey)
He blows me kisses
As he drives away
He sends me flowers
In the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you
That he's thinking of
I know I'm the one that
He really, really, really loves
What am I tryin' to say, Miss It?
What are you tryin' to say?
Huh, get real
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
(No, no, no, no, no)
Never, never, never
Never gonna be, you'll see
It isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
Oh, it isn't, it wasn't
It ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever
(No, no, no, no, no)
Never, never
Ever gonna be your man
Be your man
Dee-dee-n-dee, dee-dee-dee, now
Dee-dee, dee
Dee-da-dee-n-dee
Wa-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-dow
That's Aretha
Do-ba-doo-be-da-dee-dee, dow
Do-be-da-do, be-da-da, ba-da-do-do, dow
Boo, boo, boo, boo
Boo, boo, boo, boo
Woo-da-day-da-do-da-day-da-dow
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Hey, yeah, yeah
Na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na-na, na-na, na
He is my man, yes he is
Ha-ha, I don't think so
So now what is this?
Well, you know
That my man is supposed to be
Interested in you?
What can I say, huh?
You know, I realize that
You're under pressure
Yes, I am
And that you are sufferin' from delusions
Well, ha-ha
But, uh, don't be ridiculous
I'm not
Get real
You better get real
You know the deal
He told me he loves me and that
I'm, I'm just his forever
Uh-huh, forever
Forever
Must have played out about 20 years ago
Now, check this out
Okay
Number one, your man is not my man
This is true, this is true
Uh-huh, now, every king has his queen
Yes, yes, yeah
And I love my role bein' his queen
And I hope you like yours too
Well, I'm his princess
Whatever that is
Wait
I'm holdin' on
Oh, wait a minute, oh
Okay, well, he said that I'm his princess
You might be his queen, but
Uh-huh
I'm his princess
Yeah, well, I like being the queen myself
Well, you know that's what you are
Ah, shut up, shut up
Oh, this is funny
