He's sitting right across from me You're looking over casually So I'm pretending not to see You're trying to get his attention So I decide to keep my cool But you're out here on a mission To be in my position Girl I know you need a man I could never understand Why would you play yourself Making it easier for any man to Wanna take you home Make him wanna do me wrong But he's not leaving me You need to forget it Go and find yourself a man Now tell me why you'd wanna be The one who'd have to creep to see You know that he's here with me Girl, tell me whats your intention I've neevr been the jealous type And I won't be the fool tonight I don't wanna have to act un-ladylike Girl I know you need a man I could never understand Why would you play yourself Making it easier for any man to Wanna take you home Make him wanna do me wrong But he's not leaving me You need to forget it Go and find yourself a man I Know it's hard for you to see Any man you take, can be taken from you Is that the place you wanna be Any hearts you break Your heart can be broken too (Now tell me) How would you feel If you were in my shoes And I tried to do this to you Girl I know you need a man I could never understand Why would you play yourself Making it easier for any man to Wanna take you home Make him wanna do me wrong But he's not leaving me You need to forget it Go and find yourself a man
