Color and warmth, came into your world
It makes me crazy
When you don't get what you want
You scream and you shout, you're still a baby

Don't give me a line
Keep the lid on the bottle this time, I'm still a lady
I won't do it tonight, I won't do it tonight
No way, baby

I won't give in and I won't feel guilty
(I won't give in and I won't feel guilty)
Rant and rave to manipulate me
(Rant and rave to manipulate me)

From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied
(From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied)
From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die
(From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die)

Power and wealth, surrendering myself
It ain't easy
Embarrassing my store by opening up my door
When it's breezy

You showed me your force
Exaggerated stamina and energy
No place for that, no place for that
It's not that easy

I won't give in and I won't feel guilty
(I won't give in and I won't feel guilty)
Rant and rave to manipulate me
(Rant and rave to manipulate me)

From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied
(From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied)
From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die
(From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die)

I ain't gon' give it, you ain't gon' get it
If I don't gon' give it, you ain't gon' get it

I won't give in and I won't feel guilty
(I won't give in and I won't feel guilty)
Rant and rave to manipulate me
(Rant and rave to manipulate me)

From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied
(From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied)
From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die
(From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die)

Color and warmth, came into your world
It makes me crazy
When you don't get what you want
You scream and you shout, you're still a baby

Don't give me a line
Keep the lid on the bottle this time, I'm still a lady
I won't do it tonight, I won't do it tonight
No where, baby

I won't give in and I won't feel guilty
(I won't give in and I won't feel guilty)
Rant and rave to manipulate me
(Rant and rave to manipulate me)

From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied
(From the nipple to the bottle never satisfied)
From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die
(From the nipple to the bottle, now the cow must die)

You ain't gon' get it, I ain't gon give it
(I won't give in and I won't feel guilty, hey)
If I don't give it, how you gonna get it?
(Hey, rant and rave to manipulate me, hey)

You ain't gon' get it, I ain't gon' give it
(Hey, from the nipple to the bottle never satisfied)
(Hey)
If I don't give it, how you gonna get it?
(Hey)

If I don't give it, how you gonna get it?
If I don't give it, how you gonna get it?
If I don't give it, you ain't gonna get it?
