[Verse 1:]
You terrify me ‘cos you're a man, you're not a boy,
You got some power and I can't treat you like a toy,
You're the road less traveled by a little girl,
You disregard the mess while I try to control the world.
Don't leave me, stay here, and frighten me,
Don't leave me, come now, enlighten me,
Give me all you got, give me your wallet and your watch,
Give me your first born, give me the rainbow and the...
[Pre-Chorus:]
So go on and challenge me, take the reins and see,
Watch me squirm, baby, but you are just what I need.
[Chorus:]
And I've never played a fair game,
I've always had the upper hand,
But what good is intellect and airplay
If I can't respect any man?
Oh, I want to play a fair game,
Yeah, I want to play a fair game.
[Verse 2:]
You terrify me, we've still not kissed, and yet I've cried,
You got too close in, I pushed and pushed hoping you'd bite,
So I could run, run, and that I did, but trough the dust
You saw those teeth marks, they weren't all yours. You had been thrust
Into a history that had not worked for me,
Into a history from which I could not flee,
So go on, shake me, shake until I give it up,
Wearing me down, baby, I know that we could make some love.
[Pre-Chorus:]
So go on and challenge me, take the reins and see,
Watch me squirm, baby, but you are just what I need.
[Chorus:]
And I've never played a fair game,
I've always had the upper hand,
But what good is intellect and airplay
If I can't respect any man?
Oh, I want to play a fair game,
Yeah, I want to play a fair game.
