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
