Lyrics Baby Girl - Nelly Furtado

Come here
Baby girl

I've seen a man cry
I've seen a man die inside
I've seen him say to me
That he is only mine
That he gotta do
What is best for him
Never let me in
Not even begin

To tell me I'm the one
Under his moon and sun
That I am the thing
That revolves around him
But while on top of him
I know what's best for him
I'll show him how to win
And let me in 'cause

I don't wanna be your baby girl
I don't wanna be your little pearl
I just wanna be what's best for me
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun

We're all sorry now
I didn't mean to wow
Make you cry like that
It's just a little spat

Still I want you to know
Though I love you so
It's mostly me dreaming, forcing, believing

That you're an ideal
Hell, I never steal
But I stole you from
From another one
So take yourself and wrap around my little finger
'Cause that's how it should swing

I don't wanna be your baby girl
I don't wanna be your little pearl
I just wanna be what's best for me
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun

Why can't he see?
Why can't he see what's inside of me?
Don't you, don't you call me coochie-coo a little girl, now
Don't you gaga goo no coochie-coo girl now
I'm so much more
Can't you see?
Can't you see?

Look who's writing now
A token of their love
Can't you see, love?
That it's just because
I wanted a cheap way
To get inside your head
And not a cheap way
To get inside your bed

Though you're running now
With that silly one
It's all over now
This woman's just begun
Maybe we'll see about
The will and the way
Butterflies return some day

I don't wanna be your baby girl
I don't wanna be your little pearl
I just wanna be what's best for me
To be one-da-dum with my own star under my own sun
