Some boys got the look of a Greek Adonis Some boys try to talk you off your feet Some boys they're gods gift to woman Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat Try to change the habit of a lifetime Don't even try Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing You realise What you get is what you see Ain't nothing more to it And if you wanna love a woman like me It takes a man to do it If what you get is what you see Then I don't want your kind of love Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing And some guys got a smile you can't resist Some guys gotta build a reputation They just wanna add you to the list You got a lot of physical attraction I can't deny But can you guarantee me satisfaction While I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting... What you get is what you see Ain't nothing more to it And if you wanna love a woman like me It takes a man to do it If what you get is what you see Then I don't want your kind of love So let me see your cards on the table Before I buy I always read the writing on the label So give me reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye

I'm a puzzle I'm a walking contradiction In far from mint condition 'Cause there's pieces I can't find Sometimes trouble A can of cope, a day addiction With set in stone convictions And a no bend bottom line I'm an easy read but I ain't no open book Got a knack for making things harder than they look I'm a straight shootin' Beer drinkin', rule breakin' Don't think I won't take a good thing too far I'm a midnightin', backslidin' Getaway car drivin' Runnin' away with your heart I guess, be careful what you wish for Is all I meant when I said "What you see is what you get" At least I'm honest I don't spin it like a record And I ain't acting like I'm better Than you know I really am Yeah, you're dead on it You got me figured, I'll admit it Set in my ways hard-headed But hell, I do the best I can I'm a straight shootin' Beer drinkin', rule breakin' Don't think I won't take a good thing too far I'm a midnightin', backslidin' Getaway car drivin' Runnin' away with your heart I guess, be careful what you wish for Is all I meant when I said "What you see is what you get" With me ain't no tricks up these sleeves An acquired taste, a constant work in progress I'm a straight shootin' Beer drinkin', rule breakin' Don't think I won't take a good thing too far I'm a midnightin', backslidin' Getaway car drivin' Runnin' away with your heart I guess, be careful what you wish for Is all I meant when I said "What you see is what you get" What you see is what you get (What you get baby!)

A picture paints a thousand words As one door closes another door opens Two wrongs don't make a right Now good things come to those who wait Take the highs with the lows dear You'll get what you're given And everything's gonna be alright (What the fuck do you know?) Just 'cause you're old you think you're wise (Who the hell are you though?) I didn't even ask for your advice (You wanna keep your mouth shut?) You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere? ('Cause you're doing in my nut) And do you think I care? Say what you say, do what you do Feel what you feel as long as it's real I said take what you take and give what you give Just be what you want just as long as it's real Now by a horse I once was told That all that glitters is not gold And all that is to fear is fear itself This horsey also told me I should keep my friends close But keep my enemies closer So as to protect myself (What the fuck do you know?) Just 'cause you're old you think you're wise (Who the hell are you though?) I didn't even ask for your advice (You wanna keep your mouth shut?) You wanna take your thoughts elsewhere? ('Cause you're doing in my nut) And do you think I care? Say what you say, do what you do Feel what you feel as long as it's real I said take what you take and give what you give Just be what you want just as long as it's real Say what you say, do what you do Feel what you feel as long as it's real I said take what you take and give what you give Just be what you want just as long as it's real Say what you say, do what you do Feel what you feel as long as it's real I said take what you take and give what you give Just be what you want just as long as it's real Say what you say, do what you do Feel what you feel as long as it's real I said take what you take and give what you give Just be what you want just as long as it's real
