(Go) she's tired of wanting somebody, oh
Want a real man and don't want a copy, oh
She want a little love and want to be my baby
She want to feel some love, she hadn't had none lately

How can you be so beautiful and a lonely woman? (Lonely woman)
How can you be so beautiful but nobody want you? (Nobody want you)
Is it maybe because that your standards are high?
Is it because you don't want no regular guy? (Go)
Think of your heart and not your pocket, oh no (oh no)
If you sell yourself, it's hard to stop it, oh no (oh no)
Have you ever thought because maybe you're afraid of love? (Afraid of love)
Or all the above
