Some boys got the look of a Greek Adonis Some boys try to talk you off your feet Some boys they're gods gift to woman Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat Try to change the habit of a lifetime Don't even try Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing You realize What you get is what you see Ain't nothing more to it And if you want to love a woman like me It takes a man to do it If what you get is what you see Then I don't want your kind of love Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing And some guys got a smile you can't resist Some guys gotta build a reputation They just want to add you to the list You got a lot of physical attraction I can't deny But can you guarantee me satisfaction While I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting What you get is what you see Ain't nothing more to it And if you want to love a woman like me It takes a man to do it If what you get is what you see Then I don't want your kind of love So let me see your cards on the table Before I buy I always read the writing on the label So give me reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye
