It’s Just Business



What you want from me is something that I can’t
Give you
You want us to be together as one
But that is something that I don’t want
I just want to keep the sex and that is it
You want to treat me like a lady but I like
My life the way it is having indifferent men in my bedroom
I am all about spreading the love
I don’t want to give my love to just one man
I want to give it to every man in Detroit
I like to be wild and free between my sheets
I told you when you came on
I love convicts busting down my door
I got a client tonight, he is a big shot lawyer, I am booked tonight so I ought to move some appointments around
You want a woman that is only going to be with you only
I told you when I met you at the club
That my business and my clients come first
I tried the romance and the faithful thing for years
And I either got abused mentally and physically
You say it will be different with you
But I have heard that line before from different men
Sorry I just can’t take that chance
You’re a great guy but not for me
I love my love in the microwave, not cooked from scratch
