Lyrics
VERSE 1
I don?t need a man
A man needs me
Like bees to honey
Honies flock to me
But I?m a special kind of woman
Gotta watch my back
Can?t let just anybody
Get with that
I?ll only accept the best
And I refuse to mess with the rest
I just want a man
Who can let me love me
And who?ll love & kiss & touch me
Anytime I need
CHORUS
But I keep
Battin? ?em off like flies
And I can?t get a breath in otherwise
It?s startin? to get me
I just need a little room to breath
I?m not one to complain
I love the attention and I?m not ashamed
You say I?m filthy cute and I?ll agree
But how about a break for this MVP
MVP
VERSE 2
I don?t need a man
A man needs me
The freedom to be selective
Is a luxury
I need a special kind of man
Who can just be free
Doesn?t care what people think
And can have fun with me
So many choices it?s hard to choose
If I make the right plays
Then it?s hard to lose
I just want a man
Who can let me love me
And who?ll love & kiss & touch me
Anytime I need
CHORUS
But I keep
Battin? ?em off like flies
And I can?t get a breath in otherwise
It?s startin? to get me
I just need a little room to breath
I?m not one to complain
I love the attention and I?m not ashamed
You say I?m filthy cute and I?ll agree
But how about a break for this MVP
MVP
BRIDGE
It?s just a little crazy when they?re comin? at you
Take a breath
Take a step
And they make their move
Two three at a time
And they just can?t see
Silly one-liners
Just don?t work for me
Don?t try to back me up
Or I?ll back-hand you
That?s not a come-on
That?s a vulgar move
But show a little class
And you just might see
It?s what shows
It?s what flows
It?s what gets points with me
CHORUS
But I keep
Battin? ?em off like flies
And I can?t get a breath in otherwise
It?s startin? to get me
I just need a little room to breath
I?m not one to complain
I love the attention and I?m not ashamed
You say I?m filthy cute and I?ll agree
But how about a break for this MVP
MVP
I don?t need a man
A man needs me
Ha ha ha ha
Battin? ?em off like flies
And I can?t get a breath in otherwise
How about a break for this MVP
It?s startin? to get me
I just need a little room to breath
Complain
Attention and I?m not ashamed
Filthy cute and I?ll agree
MVP
