I tried to say it politely 
I tried to give you a clue 
All your gold don`t excite me 
That old trick just won`t do 

Still you keep spending money 
But there`s blood on the pearls 
Don`t call me babe, don`t call me honey 
And think you rule my whole world 

`Cause I`m never gonna be your lady 
I`m not the fool you think I am 
I`m never gonna be your lady 
And you will never be my man
That`s right

Well, listen
I bet your wife don`t know nothin` 
About your sordid affairs 
You`ve got greed mixed up with lovin` 
And love mixed up with flair 

But I`m never gonna be your lady 
I`m not the fool you think I am 
I`m never gonna be your lady 

All your funky business 
See you in jail 
You might buy the other, but baby, I`m not for sale 
I`m not for sale...that`s right

`Cause I`m never gonna be your lady 
I`m not the fool you think I am 
Yeah, I`m never gonna be your lady 
And you will never be man 

No, I`m never gonna be your lady 
I`m not the fool you think I am 
Oh, I`m never gonna be your lady 
And you will never be my man
Never gonna be my man 

Now listen to me
That`s right, I told you
Never gonna be my man 
Let me tell ya somethin boy
You can keep tryin all you want to try 
But it`s never gonna work 
You don`t have a thing that I need
And you sure ain`t got a thing I want

Oh, no
Never be your lady
