lyrics

What you want is attention
I can smell your foolishness for here
Your motives are suspicious
No I don't want to so soon bump what you heard
You masquerade for the goodies
Pop it quick and then you disappear
Just because you're on woody
Doesn't mean you can assume the line is blurred

You can give a thousand reasons
But you'll always come up short
If your intimate game is on life support

Chorus
Wanna get it in
But I'm not the one, babe
Tryna play it cool
But you'll miss the perks
You can be reserved
Try to trick to get some
But you'll never know how my mind werks
If you only would take a sec to listen
You would see there's much more to sex than hurt
You can play your games if commitment scares you
But you'll never know how my mind werks
How my mind werks

Hit and run, that's your style
Smash and bang, don't care if you shove
You can whirl, turn and twist it
But can you expand your thoughts, put me on top?
Just having fun is your fiction
But I like being wooed for love
Open up, no restrictions
But that's not what you've been taught, when will it stop?

You can give a thousand reasons
But you'll always come up short
If your intimate game is on life support
(Affection, body, soul, passion)

Chorus

You'll never know the sweetness and delight, all my misery and strife
(How my mind werks)
Never know the love you would be makin'
Cus your fear has you mistaken
(How my mind werks)
Never know the beauty we could start if I were more than just body parts

But that's a day you'll never see
I'll remain a mystery

(Try as you might I'm a mystery)
I'll remain a mystery
(Used to know you in another...)

Chorus
