You and me we had a opportunity
And we could make it something really cool
But you, you think I'm not the kind of girl 
I'm hear to tell ya baby I know how to rock your world

Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't under estimate me
Boy ill make you sorry you were born
 
You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby 

You got to know that that will never do
You know I don't belong to you
Its time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me 
So don't call me baby

Behind my smile is my IQ
I must admit this does not sit with the likes of you
You're really sweet mmm you're really nice
But didn't mama ever tell ya not to play with fire

Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't under estimate me
Boy ill make you sorry you were born
 
You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby

You got to know that that will never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby

You and me we had a opportunity
And we could make it something really cool
But you, you think I'm not the kind of girl 
I'm hear to tell ya baby I know how to rock your world

Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't under estimate me
Boy ill make you sorry you were born

You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby

You've got some nerve and baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby

You've got some nerve and baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby
