Friend or foe
Friend or foe
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies.
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies.
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies.
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies.
Take it up or leave it
I’m not gonna change a bit.
If it means heartache then I leave it out for your sake.
I tried an I try tried to take care of my insides
But nobody’s perfect so leave me if you object.
I want those who get to know me
When you’re a pirouetting
High-kicking thigh-slapping cruiser
When you’re a hip-grinding spellbinding clean cut seducer.
You have to be careful so people take note
I take it serious
But I still like a joke.
I want those who get to know me
Take it up or leave it
I’m not gonna change a bit.
It it means heartache then leave it out for your sake.
I tried and I try tried but still you say that I lied
But nobody’s perfect so leave me if you object.
Take it up or leave it
I’m not gonna change a bit.
If it means heartache then I leave it out for your sake.
I tried and I try tried to take care of my insides
But nobody’s perfect so leave me if you object.
