[Verse 1: Nia Peeples]
You cut me deep, but I survived
I'm black and blue, but I'm still alive
Much stronger now than I was then
This girl will not be fooled again

[Pre-Chorus: Cynthia Gibb]
No more heartaches
Love for loves sake

[Chorus: Nia Peeples & Cynthia Gibb]
And if the lady wants to play
She don't care what people say
Free to strike without a warning
And if the lady feels alright
She might love someone tonight
Steal the pleasure 'till the morning

[Post-Chorus: Cynthia Gibb]
Wheel turns, love on my terms
It's a big mistake to love for loves sake

[Verse 2: Nia Peeples & Cynthia Gibb]
I've been a fool for all that time
Between love and pain, I draw the line
Hе said he'd do so much for me
Don't need a false sеcurity
[Pre-Chorus: Nia Peeples & Cynthia Gibb]
No more heartaches
Love for loves sake

[Chorus: Nia Peeples & Cynthia Gibb]
And if the lady wants to play
She don't care what people say
Free to strike without a warning
And if the lady feels all right
She might love someone tonight
Steal the pleasure until the morning

[Post-Chorus: Cynthia Gibb & Nia Peeples]
Wheel turns, love on my terms
It's a big mistake to love for loves sake

[Bridge: Cynthia Gibb, Janet Jackson & Nia Peeples]
You can keep the ties that bind
They're ancient history in my mind
No more ball and chain around me
I do what I want to do
I keep the feeling feeling new
And no one closing in around me

[Chorus: Cynthia Gibb, Janet Jackson & Nia Peeples]
And if the lady wants to play
She don't care what people say
Free to strike without a warning
And if the lady feels all right
She might love someone tonight
Steal the pleasure 'till the morning
And if the lady wants to play
