If you want to hold me, hold me with open arms The fact that I've got self respect is no cause for alarm But if you've got a game to do, a lie or a sham or a trick or two You better back off If you want to love me, love me with all your heart If you want a journey, I've got a good stride, that's a start But if you've got a game to do, a lie or a sham or a trick or two You better back off Fool, you're wasting your time Got evil thoughts climbing in your mind Fool, you're walking down danger street Ain't nobody's love gonna be there On the other end to meet you Sure you're looking pretty, the prettiest I've ever seen But pretty doesn't do too much good if honey you treat me mean So if you've got a game to do, a lie or a sham or a trick or two I think you better back off (You give me inspiration, a woman is a work of art)
