Stanley

I'm in the kitchen
Making the dinner that I know you like
And I've been cleaning this damn house
Oh, all day and all night

But you don't pay me no attention stanley
I'm needing your attention baby
Just show me some appreciation
Or maybe take a bitch to dinner

Sometimes you make me feel special, stanley
I really shouldn't have to tell you baby
This isn't how you treat a lady
Don't you know you got a winner?

I don't know why I waste my time
When you don't care how hard I try to make you smile
(If you ain't careful) you gone lose a good thing
You gone lose a good thing

I try to dress up
And look like something just to turn you on
I'm spending money I don't got
Because you used to like my hair red my nails done

But you don't pay me no attention stanley
I'm needing your attention baby
Just show me some appreciation
Or maybe take a bitch to dinner

Sometimes you make me feel special, stanley
I really shouldn't have to tell you baby
This isn't how you treat a lady
Don't you know you got a winner?

I don't know why I waste my time
When you don't care how hard I try to make you smile
(If you ain't careful) you gone lose a good thing
You gone lose a good thing

I don't know why I waste my time
When you don't care how hard I try to make you smile
(If you ain't careful) you gone lose a good thing
You gone lose a good thing

I try so hard to be good to you, stanley
But why don't you care and you take me for granted?
You know I love you but I'm getting tired
You might get burned cause you're playing with fire (fire)

All you do is go to the bar
Worrying 'bout that rusty car
Mess around you're gonna lose my heart
And another man is gonna do your part
