Stanley

[Verse 1 ] I'm in the kitchen Making the dinner that I know you like And I've been cleaning this damn house 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 [Pre-Hook] Sometimes 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? [Hook] 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 gon' lose a good thing You gon' lose a good thing [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Hook] Sometimes 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? [Hook] 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 gon' lose a good thing [Bridge] 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 [Outro]
