Intro

-- -- - x2

Every single day

 I walk down the street

 I hear people say

"Baby's so sweet"

 Ever since puberty

 Everybody stares at me

Boys, girls

 I can't help it baby

 So be kind

 And don't lose your mind

Just remember

 That I'm your ba -- by

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

 Take me baby

or leave me

 Take me baby or leave me

A tiger in a cage

 Can never see the sun

 This diva needs her stage

Baby, let's have fun!

You are the one I choose

 Folks would kill to fill your shoes

 You love the limelight too, now baby

 So be mine

 And don't waste my time

Cryin', "Oh Honeybear

 Are you still my, my, my ba -- y?"

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

 Take me baby or leave me

No way, can I be what I'm not

But hey, don't you want your girl hot?

Don't fight, don't lose your head

'Cause every night, who's in your bed?

Who?

 Who's in your bed?

 Kiss, pookie

It won’t work!

I look before I leap.

 I love margins and discipline.

 I make lists in my sleep, ba - by.

 What’s my sin?

Never quit.

 I follow through.

 I hate mess but I love you.

 What to do with my impromptu ba - by?

 So be wise, 'cause this girl satisfies,

You got a prize, so don't compromise

You're one lucky baby!

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

 Take me baby or leave me

That's it! The straw that breaks my back

I quit, unless you take it back

Women, what is it about them?

Can't live with them or without them!

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn you better

 Take me baby or leave me

Take me baby

 Or leave me

 Guess I'm leaving

I'm gone!
