Won't Work

Yeah
Why you asking questions?
Why you wonder where I am?
Why you always wanna include me in all your plans?
Why you gotta be the one to tell them you're my man?
You really would just take the time to say that?

Don't you know the reason why I'm here is 'cause of me?
I don't need your money, I stand on my own two feet
Boy, you know I'm independent, yeah, and that's a fact
That's the way it's always been, don't try to change that, uh

I could be your princess
I could be your queen
And I know, it won't work with me
Slipping through your fingers, oh, like I don't see (like I don't see)
And I know, it won't work

I like to set my boundaries, so I know where to stop
And so you don't wear the chances to put me on the top
I don't need your muscles, baby, open up the shelf
Are you feeling threatened?
Well go find somebody else
I grew up with a single mother, see her as a king
That's the way I felt, so I'm sticking to the routine
Power to the females, we don't miss the details
I can see the way that you want me, yeah

I could be your princess
I could be your queen
And I know, it won't work with me
Slipping through your fingers, oh, like I don't see (like I don't see)
And I know, it won't work with me (eh-eh, ah, uh)
Oh-uh, no, no, nah, no
Won't work, won't work, no
Won't work, won't work, no

Come buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones
And catch me in silver, never gold
You say I'm cryptic, but that's just old
I'ma lone soldier
Come buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones
And catch me in silver, never gold
You say I'm cryptic, b-b-b-boy

Oh, it won't work with me
And I know I could be your queen
And I know, it won't work with me (oh, I know it, uh)
Slipping through your fingers, like I don't see
And I know, it won't work

Come buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones
And catch me in silver, never gold
You say I'm cryptic, boy, but you can't
Come buy me diamonds, 'cause I like stones
And catch me in silver, never gold
And you're finna die
Don't forget it like you've never known
