[Verse 1]
It's so confusing
You sure been messing with my mind
Aye aye aye aye aye
You cut me loose
And suddenly we're doing fine
I'm not a perfect little girl
But I should get what I deserve
And I refuse to be your mother
So, tell me

[Chorus]
What's in it for me?
I really gotta know
What's in it for me?
This ain't no one-man show
To in my life
You come and you go
Ain't happy about it
So I gotta know
What's in it?
What's in it for me?
(What's in it?
What's in it?)
Yeah
(What's in it?
What's in it?)
[Verse 2]
Please understand me
Your games ain't working anymore
Ain't working anymore
You can't have this candy
And keep one foot outside the door, no
And how you only come around
When your life is upside down
And I'm about to blow your cover
So, tell me

[Chorus]
What's in it for me?
I really gotta know
What's in it for me?
This ain't no one-man show
To in my life
You come and you go
Ain't happy about it
So I gotta know
What's in it, what's in it for me?
(What's in it?
What's in it?
What's in it?
What's in it?)
[Bridge]
I got no time for a hit and run
I need more than a little fun
'Cause I only play for keeps
I gotta know
What's it all about?
Go ahead
Spit it out
Say what's in it for me?
What's in it for me?

[Breakdown]
Yeah
Oh, I really gotta know
Yeah, this ain't a one-man show
To in my life
You come and you go
Ain't happy about it
So I gotta know

[Chorus]
What's in it for me?
I really gotta know
What's in it for me?
This ain't no one-man show
To in my life
You come and you go
Ain't happy about it
So I gotta know
What's in it?
What's in it for me?
[Outro]
What's in it?
What's in it for me?
