Gm
One more time here I come again it's me
    Dm7                           Gm
the queen bee for y'all to see, lady
                               Dsus4
Nasty as I wanna be the female rebel. Master of the ceremony
Gm
Winging of the wood. Smoke curl up
Dm7
Come a little close.   And I can prove what you heard
    Gm
But you choose again.   When I might give you a chance
      Dsus4
I'm advisin' all friends.   If you were lookin' for romance
Gm
Treat me like a Jewel.   Never acting cool,
  Dm7
I wanna be next to you.   But you got to keep the cool
Gm
Look into my eyes.  And judge a book by it's cover
  Dsus4
I want you to know.   That all I want is be your lover

Gm
I'll take you back
                    Dm7
Uh, one time as you listen to the words
As you listen to the rhyme
             Gm
As I've been flavor in your ear
                          Dsus4
Rather sure on your radio.   While you cruisin' in the sun, yo
        Gm
I go to places,
On a regular basis,
    Dm7
See many diff'rent faces,
                 Gm
All kinda races, spaces, traces.   I'm into faces
Dsus4
Kept all the aces,
                   Gm
But know the cases you.   And I don't know what to do
           Dm7
I'd rather miss the first word.   First kissin', that's chilled
        Gm
First I knew you.
'Cause he was not like any other
  Dsus4
I fell in love woe to the mother

[Chorus]

I ain't talkin' about my loot.    When it comes to emotion
   Dm7
So when am I gonna have the boot.    I hate you with devotion.
Gm
Don't need no thing
                                 Dsus4
No isn't no trouble, no stress
I'm dressed an' I treat you with finesse
         Gm
'Cause a lady's gotta do     What a lady's gotta do
Dm7                                       Gm
