[Intro]
I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah

[Verse 1]
Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop? Where do you dare me to draw the line?
Here's the body now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it now, say no go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah
I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

[Verse 2]
I can't go for being twice as nice
I can't go on for just repeating the same old line
Here's the body now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it now, say no go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah
I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
But I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no no, no can do
I can't go for that, no no no no no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no no no, no can do
I can't go for that, oh no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

[Rap]
Jumped into your L-O-V-E just like a swimming pool
Head first to quench for thirst but ended up the fool
Stay cool I wish that I could
But I can't so I shan't
Keep giving it all that I got to give
And that's a hell of a lot of a plan
Why can't you see that I'm the man?
Our love that coulda been greater
But a mistake is what you made
My cuisine you're dissin' the plate
Never the giver just the taker
Take a listen to the the fact, in fact
Can't go for that

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I, I'll do anything that you want me to, yeah
I'll do almost anything that you want me to, yeah

[Chorus]
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go
Baby, I can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Baby, I can't go, oh baby, no can do

I can't go for that, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't go for that
Can't go for that, can't go for that

I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
I can't go for that, no, no, no can do
