[Verse 1]
Wanna love ya, and keep you satisfied
But it seems to me you just wanna get the best of my heart
You're experienced, that can't be denied
Easy to win the race when you've got yourself a head start
I've been suckered in before, and left out the doors
So I'm not gonna give anymore, until you tell me...
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do with it, when you get it?
Babe, will you mistreat my love?
What are you gonna do with it, when you get it?
Babe, will you be sweet, my love?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, boy
Mm-hmm, woo, woo... hey
[Verse 2]
Wanna trust you above any man
But it appears to me you just wanna take the best of my love
Now, you're a fine man, and I'm sure you're in demand
But being hurt again is all that I can think of
I've been let down before, my heart's down on the floor
So before I give any more, just tell me...
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do with it, when you get it?
Babe, will you mistreat my love?
What are you gonna do with it, when you get it?
Babe, will you be sweet, my love?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
What are you gonna do with it, when you get it?
Babe, will you mistreat my love, babe?
What are you gonna do with it, when you get it?
Oh, will you be sweet, my love?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
[Bridge]
(What are you gonna do with it)
What are you gonna do, boy? (when you get it)
Hey... or will you mistreat my love, sugar?
(What are you gonna do with it)
Woo-woo-woo, yeah (when you get it)
Will you be sweet, my love?
[Verse 3]
(What are you gonna do with it, when you get it?)
'Cause a love like mine is so very hard to find
But the moment that you get me
Will you leave me cryin', cryin', cryin'
What are you gonna do now? (what are you gonna do with it)
Hey, baby (when you get it?)
Will you mistreat me, make love incomplete to me?
Or will you be sweet to me? (what are you gonna do with it)
Make lovin' a treat for me? (when you get it?)
What are you gonna do, boy?
[Outro]
Will you be sweet to me, make lovin' a treat for me?
Make lovin' a treat for me, say that you'll be sweet to me
Will you be sweet to me, make lovin' a treat for me?
Make lovin' a treat to me, say that you'll be sweet to me
What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do
What are you gonna do, boy?
Ooooohh, tell me (what are you gonna do with it)
I wanna know, baby (when you get it?)
Will you mistreat my love, baby?
(What are you gonna do with it)
Woo-woo-woo-woo, I wanna know (when you get it?)
Yeah, will you be sweet, my love?
Tell me, tell me, tell me (what are you gonna do with it)
I wanna know, yeah (when you get it?)
