Track: What You Get Is What You See

Lyrics
Oh yeah

Some boys just got the look of a Greek Adonis
And some boys just try to talk you off your feet
Hmm, some boys they're God's gift to woman
And some boys just think they're sweet enough to eat
Try to change the habit of a lifetime
Don't even try
'Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
You'll realize

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you wanna love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

Some guys just got lips that you can't help kissing
And some guys ust got a smile you can't resist, mm
And some guys have gotta build a reputation
They just wanna add you to their list
You got a lot of physical attraction
I can't deny
But can you guarantee me satisfaction?
Well, I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, ooh

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you wanna love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love, ooh, yeah

So let me see your cards on the table
Before I buy
I always read the writing on the label
So give me reason to believe
There's more to you than meets the eye, yeah

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you wanna love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

Ain't nothing more to it, ooh
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter, oh, no
I don't want your kind of love, oh, no
Ain't nothing else to it, whoa
No, I don't want your kind of love, ooh
What you, what you see is what you get
