It?s so confusing - you sure be(en) messing with my mind 
You cut me loose and - suddenly we're doing fine 
I'm not a perfect little girl - but I should get what I deserve 
And I refuse to be your mother - so tell me 

What?s in it for me - I really gotta know 
What?s in it for me - this ain?t a one man show 
In my life [bad word] and you go 
Ain?t happy about it - so I gotta know 
What?s in it - what?s in it for me 

Please understand me - your games ain?t working anymore 
You can?t have this candy - and keep one foot outside the door 
Now you [bad word] around - when your life is upside down 
And I'm about to blow your cover - so tell me 

What?s in it for me - I really gotta know 
What?s in it for me - this ain?t a one man show 
In my life [bad word] and you go 
Ain?t happy about it - so I gotta know 
What?s in it - what?s in it for me 

Got no time for a hit [bad word] - I need more than a little fun 
Cause I only play for keeps 
I gotta know what it?s all about - go ahead and spit it out 
What?s in it for me
