Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz"
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York"
I must really like you
'Cause not a lotta guys are worth my time"
I still put on a vest
With an 'S' on my chest
Oh yes, I'm a Superwoman"
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore"
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause everything's gonna be alright"
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable, will it make us look crazy"
I'm not easy, yeah, you gotta work for it"
All your hustles ain't for nothing, you just gotta take it slow"
How do you give me so much pleasure?
And cause me so much pain"
Just think of me as the pages in your diary"
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me"
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth"
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby"
