Verse 1:
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna turn me on
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna make me yours

Pre-Chorus:
‘Cause I see you trying
Subliminally trying
To see if I’m gonna be the one to stay around
I admit it’s exciting
Parts of me gonna like it
But before I lead you on

Chorus:
Baby tell me what’s your motive
What’s your motive
What’s your motive (Ah)
So tell me what’s your motive
What’s your motive
What’s your motive (Ah)

Verse 2:
I can call bulls–t out from a mile away (Don’t say)
You want me if you can’t keep coming back for me
Right out to carve you if you just can’t talk straight (Just say)
Say what you mean 'cause you may get it

Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus

Verse 3:
You treat me like gold baby
Now you wanna spoil me
Did you want a trophy?
Or you wanna sport me, baby?
Put me on your neck
‘Cause you wanted respect
‘Cause you fighting some more babe
Well I had to bring the fists out
Had to put a wall up
But don’t trust phonies babe
You gotta tell me what’s your motive babe

Bridge:
‘Cause you got your candy on your arm
No need to sugarcoat a lie
Say what you want, I need it I broke up, no fight
Can you promise me
You bring it all tonight?
‘Cause I need you to be wise
Tell me everything that’s on your mind
Come on

Repeat Chorus
