You terrify me
‘Cause you’re a man, you’re not a boy
You got some power
And I can’t treat you like a toy
You’re the road less
Travelled by a little girl
You disregard the mess
While I try to control the world

Don’t leave me

And I never played a fair game

But what good is intellect and airplay
If I can’t respect any man
Yeah, I want to play a fair game

I’ve always had the upper hand
But what good is intellect and airplay
If I can’t respect any man
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
Yeah, I want to play a fair game
