I like it    I don't like it

I tried to say it politely

I tried to give you a clue

All your gold don't excite me

That old trick just won't do



Still you keep spending money

But there's blood on the pearls

Don't call me babe, don't call me honey

And think you rule my whole world



'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

I'm never gonna be your lady

And you will never be my man

That's right



Well, listen

I bet your wife don't know nothin'

About your sordid affairs

You've got greed mixed up with lovin'

And love mixed up with flair



But I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

I'm never gonna be your lady



All your funky business

See you in jail

You might buy the other, but baby, I'm not for sale

I'm not for sale...that's right



'Cause I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

Yeah, I'm never gonna be your lady

And you will never be man



No, I'm never gonna be your lady

I'm not the fool you think I am

Oh, I'm never gonna be your lady

And you will never be my man

Never gonna be my man



Now listen to me

That's right, I told you

Never gonna be my man

Let me tell ya somethin boy

You can keep tryin all you want to try

But it's never gonna work

You don?t have a thing that I need

And you sure ain't got a thing I want



Oh, no

Never be your lady
