[Intro: Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston]
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be, yeah
[Verse 1: Aretha Franklin]
You've been hangin' 'round my boyfriend
You've been sayin' that he's sweet, yeah
Well, girl, I know that you've been talkin'
Because that talk is on the street
You say that you are gonna steal his heart
Well, sweetie, you ain't gonna get that far
You're after somethin' that don't belong to you
Well, girlfriend, I've got news for you
What are you trying to say, Miss Thang? Huh
[Chorus: Both, Aretha Franklin]
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never, never, never
Gonna be your man
[Post-Chorus: Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston]
Ah, oh, yeah
Oh, ooh
Hey
[Verse 2: Whitney Houston & Aretha Franklin]
Well, I just ain't the kind of woman
To pick the fruit off of your tree, girl
And you keep sayin' that is your man
But that ain't what he said to me
See, he blows me kisses as he drives away
He sends me roses in the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you that he's thinkin' of
But I'm the one that he really, really loves, girl
So what am I trying to say? Don't diss me, girl
[Chorus: Both, Whitney Houston & Aretha Franklin]
I said, it isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever, never, never, never
Never gonna be yours (Sing)
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
Oh, it isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever, never, never, never
Never gonna be your man, girl
[Interlude: Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston & Both]
What are you doin', layin' and hangin' back?
Don't you know it, girl?
Mmhmm, just as I suspected (Hey)
You been talkin' that la-la, and that ya-ya
And that yin and that yang, but the man is mine
Hey
[Bridge: Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston]
He blows me kisses as he drives away
He sends me flowers in the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you that he's thinkin' of
I know I'm the one that he really, really, really loves
What am I tryin' to say Miss It?
What are you tryin' to say?
Get real
[Chorus: Both, Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston]
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never (No), ever (No), never (No), never (No), never (No)
Never gonna be yours (Sing)
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
Oh, it isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never (No), ever (No), never (No), never (No), never (No)
Never gonna be your man
Be your man
[Interlude: Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston]
That's Aretha
Oh, woah
Ah (Yeah, yeah)
So now, what is this?
Well, you know
And my man is supposed to be interested in you?
That's what I'm saying
You know, I realize that you're under pressure
Yes, I am
That you're suffering from delusions
Well
Don't be ridiculous
I'm not
Get real
You better get real
[Chorus: Both, Aretha Franklin & Whitney Houston]
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never (No), ever (No), never (No), never (No), never (No)
Never gonna be yours (Sing)
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
Oh, it isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be, yeah
