Not That Kind Of Girl
JoJo Lyrics

I'm not your everyday, 'round the way
I'm not your typical girl who hangs out on the street and goes to bars.

Don't go bar-hoppin', chillin' on the block
I don't spend my time drinking and hanging around on the streets.

On a cell phone frontin',
I don't pretend to be someone I'm not on my phone.

Never that, 'cause I'm not that kinda girl
I'm true to myself and don't put on a façade to impress people.

I need to know how you roll
I want to know your true self and how you live your life.

And how you get down
I want to know how you like to have fun and enjoy life.

No drama
I don't like drama in relationships.

Money in the bank
I have my own financial stability.

Take me home and meet your mama
I want to get to know your family and be a part of your life.

Can ya handle that?
Are you mature and secure enough to be with someone like me?

Cause I'm that kinda girl
I'm the type of girl who knows what she wants and won't settle for less.

Boy you ain't impressin' me
I'm not easily impressed by material possessions or superficial acts.

With your jewelry, your designer clothes
I'm not interested in those things if they're the only things you have to offer.

Or the games that you try to play
I don't have time for mind games or manipulation.

Think you need to know,
You should be aware that

I got my own
I'm my own independent person with my own life.

Don't need you for your dough
I don't need your money to support myself.

Hearin' me, maybe then we can flow,
If you listen to me and understand where I'm coming from, we can connect on a deeper level.

Let me know
Communicate with me and be honest about how you feel.

Make me smile, maybe we can chill
Make me happy and we can spend time together in a relaxed way.

Keep it real, show me something I can feel
Be genuine with me and do something that affects me emotionally.

Cause I'm not your average, ordinary type
I'm unique and require someone who sees that.

Could you be that kinda guy I like?
Are you the kind of guy who can appreciate and value me?

Every time I be up at the spot, chilling with my crew
Whenever I'm out with my friends,

We'll be hanging out, get in a little late
We might stay out a bit later than planned.

You start bugging out
You start getting angry or upset.

I don't think it's fair
I don't believe it's reasonable or balanced.

You don't like the clothes I wear
You have a problem with my fashion choices.

How I do my hair
You take issue with my hairstyle.

I don't really care
I'm not concerned with your opinion on these things.

But it's not for you
My appearance is for me to decide and express.

And I ain't got nothin' to prove
I don't need to justify or validate my choices to you.

There can't be any us,
Our relationship can't work,

If there can't be any trust
If we can't trust each other.

Nothin' to discuss, no doubt
There's nothing to talk about, it's clear.

I'm not that kinda girl to let you play me out
I won't let you deceive, manipulate, or mistreat me.

You might take me shopping,
You might want to buy me things,

But I'm not your property
But I'm not something you can own or control.

If I don't like it, I decided it
If I don't like something, it's because I made that choice.

I can make it on my own
I don't need you to take care of me or provide for me.

As long as we disagree to agree
As long as we can have different opinions but still understand each other.

Down for you and you're down for me
I'm committed to you if you're committed to me.

Baby I'm what you want and we can build a love so strong
I'm the partner you desire and we can create a powerful relationship together.

Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Humming sound

Not that kinda girl
I'm not the type of girl you can take advantage of or underestimate.

Do you know what kinda girl I am?
Do you understand who I am and what I stand for?

I'm that kinda girl
I'm the kind of girl who knows her worth and won't settle for less.

Ooohoohh-yeaaahh
Humming sound
