Before we get down to business Let's understand the rules I like my independence And I ain't nobody's fool Now don't misread my intentions I'm planning to love you The floodgates are open But you better play it cool I'm not your love hostage Watch me just walk away I'm not your love hostage So if you want me to stay Don't put my heart in chains Don't pin me down with suspicion Or tangle me in lies If you really want me You got to realize That I'm not your love hostage Watch me just walk away I'm not your love hostage So if you want me to stay Don't put my heart in chains I'm not your love hostage Watch me just walk away Don't make me your love hostage Or I'll just walk away I'm not your love hostage So if you want me to stay Don't make me your love hostage Or I'll just walk away
