Baby Girl Lyrics - Whoa Nelly! - Nelly Furtado

I've seen a man cry, I've seen a man die inside 

I've seen him say to me that he is only mine 

That he gotta do what is best for him 

Never let me in, not even begin 

To tell me I'm the one under his moon and sun 

That I am the thing that revolves around him 

But while on top of him I know what's best for him 

I'll show him how to win and let me in because 

I don't want to be your baby girl 

I don't want to be your little pearl 

I just want to be what's best for me 

To be one-da-dumb with my own star under my own sun 

We're all sorry now 

I didn't mean to wow 

Make you cry like that 

It's just a little spat 

Still I want you to know 

Though I love you so 

It's mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing 

That you're an ideal 

Hell I never steal 

But I stole you from 

From another one 

So take yourself and wrap around my little finger 

'cause that's how it should swing 

I don't want to be your baby girl 

I don't want to be your little pearl 

I just want to be what's best for me 

To be one-da-dumb with my own star under my own sun 

Why can't he see, why can't he see what's inside of me, yeah... 

Don't you, don't you call me coochie-coo a little girl now... 

Don't you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now I'm so much more, can't you see? Can't you see? 

Look who's writing now a token of their love 

Can't you see love that it's just because 

I wanted a cheap way to get inside your head 

And not a cheap way to get inside your bed 

Oh your running now, with that silly one 

It's all over now, this woman's just begun 

Maybe we'll see about the will and the way 

Butterflies return someday 

I don't want to be your baby girl 

I don't want to be your little pearl 

I just want to be what's best for me 

To be one-da-dumb with my own star under my own sun
