(Baby whatcha' gonna do?)
I keep asking you baby
Baby, whatcha' gonna do?
Have your cake and eat it too?
Conveniently you're using me
Like a chair or a sofa, maybe a gopher
But I can't go for that
(I can't go for that)
My baby cause that ain't where its at
(That ain't where it's at)
Being a toy for you to enjoy
A regular plaything, your treat any way thing
First you build me up, misleading me so
(Misleading me so)
Yes you do
And then, and then, and then you tear me down
Deflate my ego
Let me know
(Let me know, let me know)
Baby what you gonna do?
(What you gonna do baby?)
Come on tell the truth, girl
What do I need to do?
Am I something real baby that you can feel?
How can you can take me or leave me?
But mama don't deceive me
All it takes is just a little love and trust
(A little love and trust)
Baby what's in store for us?
(Baby what's in store for us)
Hey, is it happy days?
(Happy days)
Or is it separate ways?
(Separate ways)
Baby am I about to be with or without you?
If I'm not the one for you, baby let me go
(Let me go)
Just don't keep me hanging on
Oh, baby tell me so
Let me know
(Let me know, let me know)
Baby what you gonna do?
Girl it's time I knew where I stand with you
Yeah baby, baby, what you gonna do?
Baby, baby, baby what you gonna do?
Yeah, yeah
Oh baby, baby, baby
Baby whatcha' gonna do, whatcha' gonna do, whatcha' gonna do baby?
Come on tell the truth, come on tell the truth, what do I mean to you baby?
What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be, is it you and me baby?
Tell it like it is, baby
I keep asking you baby
Baby, whatcha' gonna do?
Have your cake and eat it too?
Conveniently you're using me
Like a chair or a sofa, maybe a gopher
But I can't go for that
(I can't go for that)
