[Verse 1]
Last night we were watching this game show
They were talking 'bout marriage
And that stuff you know
I found myself laughin'
'Cause those couples weren't clear
And then here he comes with this bright idea
So I said to him

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you mean well
You're genuine I can tell
Besides you and me
I know that we would soar
But are you ready?
You gotta be sure, you gotta be sure

[Chorus]
Oh no, I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, your price ain't right, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Hey, this is my life, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, your price ain't right, I know
You feel like hitting the ceiling, hold on
Hey, this is my life

[Verse 2]
So we're arguing
Talking about it back and forth (Back and forth)
And forth and back as if there is no source
And now I'm wondering
Is this what he had in mind?
Cause if I thought we'd get through that door
Tell me what's gonna be my price
So I said to him

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you mean well
You're genuine (Genuine) I can tell
Besides you and me
I know that we would soar
But are you ready?
You gotta be sure, you gotta be sure
(You got to be sure)

[Chorus]
Oh no, I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, your price ain't right, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Hey, this is my life, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, your price ain't right, I know
You feel like hitting the ceiling, hold on
Hey, this is my life

[Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you mean well
You're genuine I can tell
Besides you and me
I know that we would soar
But are you ready?
You gotta be sure, you gotta be sure

[Chorus]
Oh no, I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, your price ain't right, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Hey, this is my life, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, your price ain't right, I know
You feel like hitting the ceiling, hold on
Hey, this is my life, hold on

Baby, your price ain't right, hold on
Hey, this is my life, hold on
I know you got the feeling, hold on
Baby, your price ain't right, I know
You feel like hitting the ceiling, hold on
Hey, this is my life

[Outro]

Game show, game show, game show, game show

Kelis

When idiosyncratic R&B singer Kelis hit the scene in 1999 with the siren-bathed “Caught Out There,” many didn’t know what to do with a rainbow-haired songstress repeatedly screaming “I hate you so much right now” as her hook. It made her not only unforgettable, but also helped put hitmaking production duo The Neptunes on the map.

Though her debut album Kaleidoscope was well-received, her label Virgin Records opted to only release the sophomore Wanderland internationally though the single “Young, Fresh N' New” was in rotation on BET & MTV.

Despite record label drama, Kelis kept her public profile up singing the hooks on hit songs like ODB’s “Got Your Money” and Busta Rhymes' “What It Is”.
