We walked into the room
You tried to make your move much too soon
And then you cried the blues
Why don't you understand I won't date you

But I heard of the other night before
Boy I'm amazed that you could just ignore
How does a lady find the words to say it
Why can't you get it thru your head "I'm not that way"

I wasn't for it the very first time
Don't mess with me, baby don't you mess with me
I didn't stutter, I didn't think twice
Baby don't you mess with me
With your bad self, baby don't mess with me

You took me for a ride
A fancy restaurant to wine and dine
You thought that thing was on
I beat your game and say "take me home"

But I heard of the other night before
Boy I'm amazed that you could just ignore
How does a lady find the words to say it
Why can't you get it thru your head "I'm not that way"
I wasn't for it the very first time
Don't mess with me, so baby don't you mess with me

I didn't stutter, I didn't think twice
Baby don't you mess with me
I wasn't for it the very first time
Don't mess with me, baby don't you mess with me
I didn't stutter, I didn't think twice
Baby don't you mess with me

Ooh baby baby, baby baby, baby don't ya mess with me
Ooh baby baby, baby baby, baby don't ya mess with me
I wasn't for it... Hey hey hey
I didn't stutter

I'm warnin ya baby, don't ya mess with me
Your not for me, all your games
I've heard your lies so many times
I wasn't for it the very first time
Don't mess with me, baby don't you mess with me
I didn't stutter, I didn't think twice
Baby don't you mess with me
