I will never be what you need
But I got what you want
You just wanna spend my cash and smoke my weed
I got what you want
You've been up for days, can't get no sleep
I got what you want
See the sauce drippin' off from the heart that's on my sleeve
I got what you want
Oh yeah

I got what you want
See it in your eyes, you just tryna get on
I know what she wants
She got more issues than a magazine
I had a girl named Mercedes, used to love it when she bends
When she make me mad, I leave her ass on read
I never let these girls get to my head
I'm too busy countin' all of this bread (oh, yeah)
What can they say to me? (Say to me)
'Cause if I left then they wait for me (then they wait)
What can they say to me? (What can they say?)
I keep it G and she knows it

I will never be what you need
But I got what you want
You just wanna spend my cash and smoke my weed
I got what you want
You've been up for days, can't get no sleep
I got what you want
See the sauce drippin' off from the heart that's on my sleeve
I got what you want (oh yeah)

Pin drop (pin drop) ten o' clock (ten o' clock)
Hit the inbox, I'll be in the box (I'll be in the box)
Oh she so bad (so bad) got 'em all shook (all shook)
Say she wanna ball, she get the hardwood (get the hardwood)
Oh yeah she super dope (super dope), I'm still high (still high)
I can't even tell you what this feels like (I can't) (feels like)
Oh, oh, real life (real life) wake up every morning and I feel high (live up)
I got a bitch in the projects, yeah, she faithful and honest
Never went to college, she got collagen in her body
You don't need that type of knowledge when you pretty and polished
She don't even drive a car but she been racking up mileage (yeah)
I got everything, lows, highs, she worth anything
Told her, "Hold tight, go light with them heavy things"
I'm not what you need, can't front
Back up, baby, I got what you want (what you want!) (Yeah)

I will never be what you need
But I got what you want
You just wanna spend my cash and smoke my weed
I got what you want
You've been up for days, can't get no sleep
I got what you want
See the sauce drippin' off from the heart that's on my sleeve
I got what you want

(Oh yeah)

I got what you want
I got what you want
I got what you want
I got what you want

Belly

Belly was an alternative rock band formed in 1991 by former Throwing Muses members Tanya Donelly (who was also in The Breeders) and Fred Abong. The band was based in Boston, Massachusetts, though all of the original members grew up in Newport, Rhode Island. The band consisted of Donelly on lead vocals and guitar, Abong on bass, Tom Gorman on guitar, and Chris Gorman on drums. Tom and Chris, who were brothers, were childhood friends of Donelly's; they had previously played in the hardcore punk band Verbal Assault. On at least one tour date (in February, 1993) in Albany, NY, former Throwing Muses member, Leslie Langston, lent a hand on bass. more »
