[Verse 1]
Mama mama, help me
This boy's running rings around me
Sister sister, tell me
Why he flaunts me so effortlessly
When we're all alone he'll say "I love you I swear"
But when his friend's around, he acts like I'm not there
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So if you want my love
You know it's not enough
To hold me through the night
Then keep me out of sight
[Chorus]
If you ask me why I'll tell you it's the principle
You try to hide me, loving finally
Principle, oh yeah
It's my principle
You want the action. chain reaction
Principle, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Mama mama help me
This boy's got me where he wants me
Sister sister tell me
How to break the chains and set myself free
Tell me why should I waste all my love on you
When you won't commit I end up feeling used
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So when you're all alone
And you pick up the phone
Just erase my name
'Cos I won't play these games
[Chorus]
If you ask me why I'll tell you it's the principle
You try to hide me, loving finally
Principle, oh yeah
It's my principle
You want the action. chain reaction
Principle, oh yeah
[Middle 8]
He keep me on the DL
I don't think that's right no more
I'm not that kind of girl
Well I don't think that's right no more
He wanna keep me secret
I don't think that's right no more
It's time to burn some bridges
I don't think that's right
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So if you want my love
You know it's not enough
To hold me through the night
Then keep me out of sight
[Chorus]
If you ask me why I'll tell you it's the principle
You try to hide me, loving finally
Principle, oh yeah
It's my principle
You want the action. chain reaction
Principle, oh yeah
It's the principle
You try to hide me, loving finally
Principle, oh yeah
It's my principle
You want the action. chain reaction
Principle, oh yeah
