Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Turn around and look at me)
And your swagger, yeah it′s flawless
(Got me, you need)
To get closer, you don't need it in my
(Right here is where you′re suppose to be)
Trust you need a girl like me
You don't know me, yeah but I am
Laid back and sophisticated (ah)
But I'm MJ bad
Giving you the chance to have
The best you ever had
(A girl like me)
You should be pursuin′
(A girl like me)
Make you wonder how I do it
(A girl like me)
Only one in a million, if you treat me like I ain′t
Trust me I can get a new one
(A girl like me)
You should be pursuin'
(A girl like me)
Make you wonder how I do it
(How I do it, how I)
Only one in a million, if you treat me like I ain′t
Trust me I can get a new one
We could be a match made in heaven
(Let me take you to cloud nine)
Bet your exes get you, well
(You know, I'm so)
Overwhelmed when I am in your presence
(I don′t wanna waste your time)
So, won't you stop wasting mine?
Oh, you know I′m so
Laid back and sophisticated
But I'm MJ bad (so bad)
Giving you the chance to have
The best you ever had
(A girl like me)
You should be pursuin'
(A girl like me)
Make you wonder how I do it
(A girl like me)
Only one in a million, if you treat me like I ain′t
Trust me I can get a new one
(A girl like me)
You should be pursuin′
(A girl like me)
Make you wonder how I do it
(Do it, do it)
Only one in a million, if you treat me like I ain't
Trust me I can get a new one
Brown skin, fresh trim, with the slick fade
Who that you talkin′ to? She need to be replaced
With the 5"3 feisty singer from south
Someone who listens
Wanna know what you're about, uh
Don′t wanna bore you with no lecture
But I could teach you things
Baby, call me your professor
I'll let ya
Them other girls is dumb
And you′re fuckin' with the one
If you playin', then I′m done (done)
Laid back and sophisticated
But I′m MJ bad
Giving you the chance to have
The best you ever had
(A girl like me)
You should be pursuin'
(A girl like me)
Make you wonder how I do it
(A girl like me)
Only one in a million, if you treat me like I ain′t
Trust me I can get a new one
(A girl like me)
You should be pursuin'
(A girl like me)
Make you wonder how I do it
(Oh, oh, oh)
Only one in a million, if you treat me like I ain′t
Trust me I can get a new one
(Girl like me)
You should be pursuin'
(A girl like me)
Make you wonder how I do it
(Girl like me)
Only one in a million
You need a, you need a, you need a girl like me
Said you need a girl like me
Yeah, you need a girl like me
