Salt N Pepa - You Showed Me lyrics

rate me

You showed me what to do, exactly what to do

When I was in love with you

You showed me many of things, plenty of hard times

Then I got up on it but the hard way

Out there to tax, you chose me to slay

I saw what you did, uh-huh, and said nothin'

But watched, clocked, then I kept bluffin'

And schemed to capture the skill of your rapture

Master become the massa and kick at ya

A plan, a new stand for this woman

Made to be deadly just like the omen

No more trippin', too strong to fall

Shoe's on the other foot, shots are mine to call

Little did you know what you were showing

It hurted when you flirted, but I kept going

Now the student is the teacher, you can't freak her

Play the game of life, and I'll beat ya

You showed me what to do, exactly what to do

When I was in love with you

Ohhh, it's true, I can do it, too

You showed me what to say, exactly what to say

In that very special way

Ohhh, it's true, games were made for two

You're fly, you live high off life riches

Got three, four, and five fly bitches

You dummy, you're so funny, leave me in stitches

Honey, I command, I pull the switches

Now I relieve the scratch when he itches

I'm not the man, but I wear the britches

So pitch your love and lies in the ditches

P.S. hugs and kisses

And when I tried it, I could see you fall

And I decided it wasn't hard at all

You showed me what to say, exactly what to say

In that very special way

Ohhh, it's true, games were made for two

You taught it to me too, exactly what to do

And now I do it well

Ohhh, it's true, now you love me, too

I tried it then I decided it's fun

To catch the wave and ride it

On from what you spawn

Yo, I play like a rose, but I live like a thorn

But anyhow, I do know now the tricks of the trade

I ain't never gettin' played

Say what you will, and do what you must

It all fell apart when you betrayed my trust

Don't worry, babe, you're still my main dish

First on the menu but of a long list

This ain't me, it's what you made me

Now I'm slappin' you back with the same crap you gave me

So get a grip, I'm hipper than hip

And I'm sick and tired of your shit

Let's make this clear, dear, I swear

Never will I get dogged again, I'm outta here

You showed me what to do, exactly what to do

When I was in love with you

Ohhh, it's true, I can do it too

Ohhh, it's true
