When I was so much younger
I learned it from my mother
Don't let no man minstreat you
So I grew up a princess
And I took only the best
Now I expect nothing less
I stand here looking at you
I think you know what to do
Bow to the queen before you
You look like someone royal
But are you someone loyal?
Maybe you could be my king, boy
I want to take you with me
You make me feel so pretty
Show me you understand me
Baby, don't you waste my time
'Cause boy you take me higher
Wanna be in your empire
Show me you understand me
Baby, don't you waste my time
My heart is beating fast now
I can see you figured me out,
And it's not just for fun now
Too old for games and danger
So come here boy, don't be a stranger
Baby, let me be your angel
I want to take you with me
You make me feel so pretty
Show me you understand me
Baby, don't you waste my time
'Cause boy you take me higher
Wanna be in your empire
Show me you understand me
Baby, don't you waste my time
Oh, baby don't you waste my time, ooh
Oh, baby don't you waste my time
Yeah yeah!
I want to take you with me
You make me feel so pretty
Show me you understand me
Baby, don't you waste my time
'Cause boy you take me higher
Wanna be in your empire
Show me you understand me
Baby, don't you waste my time
