lyrics

She said the ex is a given
But only if it's taken
She said it works for a livin'
For what she's makin'
She's worth more
She's worth more
She's worth more
More than she gives herself

She said the wall was a shakin'
But she, she just can't make it
She said the wall was a shakin'
But she, she just can't fake it
No more, worth more than that
No more, worth more than that
No more, more than she gives herself

It's your thing
Do what ya wanna do
I can't tell ya who to sock it to
It's your thing
Do what you wanna do
I ain't gonna be the one, baby
Not me, it's your thing

She said the world is a sad thing
Everything's tattered
She said the word goes unspoken
Everybody's scattered
She said truth is illusion
And fate is what we make
She said it works for a livin'
But she, she just can't fake it
No more, much more than that
No more, much more than that
No more, more than she gives herself
An' all I gotta say

It's your thing
Do what ya wanna do
It's your thing
I can't tell ya who to sock it to
It's your thing, baby
Do what you wanna do
I ain't gonna be the one
It's your thing

No, she don't play games
Trust me

She walk away
With the walk, she walk, yeah
You know the one
Tosses her hair
With a backward glance
She gotta see
If she got your eye
You think you in, lover?
She gonna have you for supper
Trust me
She don't play games

Oh, yea, and the ex is a given
