  • I wait all Sunday for him to come for me
    When he don't by Monday, I cry myself into a hunger
    And he's twice my age, it's a guilty pleasure
    For a man that seems like he should know, he should know better

    He talk-talk down to me
    Don't know what he want-want-want from me
    He could have it all so easily
    But instead, he make me, make me go, oh

    He got me in the bag, but he won't take it home
    I like it when he says, "I'm too young to know
    To know what this is" (know what this is)
    'Cause he ain't about a thing (ain't about a thing)
    Come down to business (down to business)
    He's not my baby, I'm his
    Not my baby, I'm his
    No, no

    Stroke in my head, it's a stroke of my ego
    And no one feels quite as seen
    As when a child gets chosen
    And I'm half his age, it's a rite of passage
    To know it's wrong, but not quite care
    Don't care what happens

    He talk-talk down to me
    Don't know what he want-want-want from me
    He could have it all so easily
    But instead, he make me, make me go, oh

    He got me in the bag, but he won't take it home
    I like it when he says, "I'm too young to know
    To know what this is" (know what this is)
    'Cause he ain't about a thing (ain't about a thing)
    Come down to business (down to business)
    He's not my baby, I'm his
    He got me in the bag, but he won't take it home
    I like it when he says, "I'm too young to know
    To know what this is" (know what this is)
    'Cause he ain't about a thing (ain't about a thing)
    Come down to business (down to business)
    He's not, he's not, no
    He got me in the bag, but he won't take it home
    I like it when he says, "I'm too young to know
    To know what this is" (know what this is)
    'Cause he ain't about a thing (ain't about a thing)
    Come down to business (down to business)
    He's not my baby, I'm his Writer/s: Emile Haynie, Lucy Healey, Raymond Mason, Sienna Spiro
