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 cuz
    [Chorus:]
  I don't wanna be your baby girl
  I don't wanna be your little pearl
  I just wanna be what's best for me
  To be one-da-dum 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
  Cuz that's how it should swing
    [Chorus]
    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 you're 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 some day
    [Chorus]
