don't work that way

Singer:ne-yo

she was a diamond princess cut perfect no cloud

sexy and independent

making man proud

oh but a man didn't no her work treating her wrong foul

since he didn't know how to treat her

she went an found a fellow that knew how

and he treats her like a queen

with a diamond crown

she's all happy now

but looks who's back around

her old boyfriend and now he's talking bout

how he got it figured out

he says leave him and let's work it out

but she said

no no no

no no it don't work that way

no no it don't work that way at all

no no no

no no it don't work that way

no no it don't work that way at all

and so the old boyfriend stands there looking so confused

i guess he really thought she would pick him over her new dude

so he goes what can he give that i can't give you

she says great sex ain't one credit and occasional bag and a pair of shoes

she says he treats me like a queen

with a diamond crown

i'm so happy now

then you come back around

say you didn't know then

but you swear that you know now

flashing that fake smile

talking bout let's work it out

she said

no no no

no no it don't work that way

no no it don't work that way at all

no no no

no no it don't work that way

no no it don't work that way at all

la la la

la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la

la la la

la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la

no no no

no no it don't work that way

no no it don't work that way at all

no no no

no no it don't work that way

no no it don't work that way at all
