[Verse 1]
Cherry says that anytime
I think I have a good idea
That I should do the opposite
Of whatever it is I feel
And that’s because I have a bad mind
And I have gold in my veins
But he says I got the purest heart
That he’s ever seen

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What'd God give me a brain for?
He won’t help me use it
What'd God give me a plan for
If he won’t help me do it?

[Chorus]
You’re gonna love me
I’m gonna make you
You’re gonna love me
I’m gonna make you

[Verse 2]
Well I can tell that you’re the type
To never trust a beauty queen
But I was never voted for nothing
And high school never meaned
Anything to anybody
Never ever gave myself away
But even when I’m funny
You think I’m acting, so I say

[Pre-Chorus 2]
What'd God give me a brain for
If he won’t let me use it?
What’d God give me a plan for?
He never helps me do it

[Chorus]
You’re gonna love me
I’m gonna make you
You’re gonna love me
I’m gonna make you

[Bridge]
You say that you don’t want to be hypnotized
But baby I, I don’t want to hypnotize you
There’s nothing from you that I want to take
I just want to be like you
(Maybe love you just a little bit)
Please

[Verse 3]
Jim, I'mma dedicate this whole album to you
You told me to get my way
That’s exactly what I’m gonna do
I’m going to strike out, right now
I’m striking out right now with this song
But I can’t help myself;
I can’t do right for long
You know that

[Pre-Chorus 3]
What God give me a brain for?
He knows that I can't use it
I don't know why he'd give me a plan for
He never lets me do it

[Chorus]
You’re gonna love me
I’m gonna make you
You’re gonna love me
I’m gonna make you
