It?s so confusing - you sure be(en) messing with my mind
You cut me loose and - suddenly we're doing fine
I'm not a perfect little girl - but I should get what I deserve
And I refuse to be your mother - so tell me
What?s in it for me - I really gotta know
What?s in it for me - this ain?t a one man show
In my life you come and you go
Ain?t happy about it - so I gotta know
What?s in it - what?s in it for me
Please understand me - your games ain?t working anymore
You can?t have this candy - and keep one foot outside the door
Now you only come around - when your life is upside down
And I'm about to blow your cover - so tell me
What?s in it for me - I really gotta know
What?s in it for me - this ain?t a one man show
In my life you come and you go
Ain?t happy about it - so I gotta know
What?s in it - what?s in it for me
Got no time for a hit and run - I need more than a little fun
Cause I only play for keeps
I gotta know what it?s all about - go ahead and spit it out
What?s in it for me
Chorus
