If the boy doesn't know
He's got gold mine with you, so he keeps eyein'
His way around
The boy wants to go
Get a glimpse of a new thing
Take a ride on some new wings
Go on, let him fly

'Cause you don't wanna
You don't wanna be a crazy girl
Don't show him your teeth
You gotta be a
You gotta be a lady, girl
Don't come out your seams

You just wait 'til he goes, oh, he won't even know
When you hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau
You hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau
Wait 'til he thinks he's a man walking free
Then just hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau
Hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau

When it starts to show
He's wakin' in the night
Cold sweats, he don't feel right
He's out on his own
That's just the way
It goes when the boy thinks
He can play a girl's strings
She will always know

But you don't wanna
You don't wanna be a crazy girl
Don't show him your teeth
You gotta be a
You gotta be a lady, girl
Don't come out your seams

No, just wait 'til he goes, oh, he won't even know
When you hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau
You hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau
Wait 'til he thinks he's a man walking free
Then just hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau
Hit him with the Ma-rie Laveau
