Check it out, yeah
   Oh, oh, oh…
  
   Do you think I don't know it
   When you try not to show it
   Are you sure I don't feel it
   When you lie, when you lie
   All I know I can't take it
   Every time that you fake it
   Do you think I can't make it
   On my own, make it on my own
  
   Why you never treat me like a lady
   Why are you acting kinda shady
   Boy you know you really drive me crazy
   Tell me why, tell me why, why, why
   Are you tryin' to be a bad boy
   I will never ever be your love-toy
   You think that love is just a game
  
   Chorus
   Tell me why do you think you own me
   Why you're the one that showed me
   I - I could be this lonely, why, oh why
   Why did you leave me high and dry
   Thought that we could touch the sky
   But it turned into 'goodbye', oh why
  
   Yeah, yeah - you wanna get it?
   Yeah, yeah - are you with it?
   Yeah, yeah - let's get the business started
   Two, three, four hit it
  
   In your mind, always doubt free
   Better off without me
   Paid your dues, get out be free
   Walk away, walk away
   Then you run, come back to me
   Tellin' me the same old story
   Nothing's wrong, we should be we
   Now I know, now I know
  
   Why you never treat me like a lady
   Why are you acting kinda shady
   Boy you know you really drive me crazy
   Tell me why, why, why, why
   Are you tryin' to be a bad boy
   I will never ever be your love-toy
   You think that love is just a game
  
   Chorus
   Tell me why do you think you own me
   Why you're the one that showed me
   I - I could be this lonely, why, oh why
   Why did you leave me high and dry
   Thought that we could touch the sky
   But it turned into 'goodbye', oh why
  
   Rap
   So girl why ya fall, why ya cheatin' on me
   Didn't I treat you nice and didn't I give you plenty
   What about all of the diamonds and all of the pearls
   I give you anything, say ya - couldn't give any other girl
   So look upon the massive hurt you put upon my soul
   Which of the maddest thoughts am I allowed to control
   Could I anybody press, caress - your body to your soul
   Take a second guess, thought…
  
   Breakdown
   You became somebody else
   And you're lyin' to yourself
   Won't go through this again
   And here the story ends
  
   Chorus (2x)
   Tell me why do you think you own me
   Why you're the one that showed me
   I - I could be this lonely, why, oh why
   Why did you leave me high and dry
   Thought that we could touch the sky
   But it turned into 'goodbye', oh why
  
   Tell me why girl, why girl…
