I tried to say it politely
I tried to give you a clue
All your gold don't excite me
That old trick just won't do

Still you keep spending money
But there's blood on the perals
Don't call me babe, Don't call me honey
And think you rule my whole world

Chours:
'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
I'm never gonna be your lady
And you will never be my man
That's right

Well listen,
I bet your wife don't know nothing
About your sordid affairs
You've got greed mixed up with lovin'
And love mixed up with flair

Chours:
But I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
I'm never gonna be your lady

All your funky buisness
See you in jail
You might buy the other
but baby, I'm not for sale
I'm not for sale
That's right

Chours:
'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
Yeah, I'm never gonna be your lady
And you will never be my man

No I'm never gonna be your lady
I'm not the fool you think I am
Oh I'm never gonna be your lady
And you will never be my man
Never gonna be my man

Now listen to me
That's right
I told you
Never gonna be my man
Let me tell you something boy
You can keep trying all you want to try
But it's never gonna work
You don't have a thing I need
And you sure ain't got a thing I want

Oh no,
Never be your lady
