Nelly Furtado - Baby Girl lyrics

I`ve seen a man cry, I`ve seen a man die inside

I`ve seen him say to me that he is only mine

That he gotta do what is best for him

Never let me in, not even begin

To tell me I`m the one under his moon and sun

That I am the thing that revolves around him

But while on top of him I know what`s best for him

I`ll show him how to win and let me in cuz

Chorus:

I don`t wanna be your baby girl

I don`t wanna be your little pearl

I just wanna be what`s best for me

To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun

We`re all sorry now, I didn`t mean to wow

Make you cry like that, it`s just a little spat

Still I want you to know, though I love you so

It`s mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing

That you`re an ideal, hell I never steal

But I stole you from, from another one

So take yourself and wrap around my little finger

Cuz that`s how I think it should swing

Chorus

Why can`t he see, why can`t he see what`s inside of me, yeah... don`t you, don`t you call me coochie-coo a little girl, now... don`t you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now I`m so much more, can`t you see? Can`t you see?

Look who`s writing now a token of their love

Can`t you see love that it`s just because

I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head

And not a cheap way to get inside your bed

Oh you`re running now, with that silly one

It`s all over now, this woman`s just begun

Maybe we`ll see about the will and the way

Butterflies return some day

Chorus
