I’m the Prize
Too many times, I wore my heart on my sleeve
Gave 'em all of me,
but that ain't who I'll
be
These men don't care when you're loving too nice
They don't appreciate it,
just take what they like
So I learned my lesson,
I know what I deserve
You can't have my loving if you don't put in work
I won't lose myself tryna make you see my worth
If you want a woman like me,
better put me first
You must be used to women caterin'
Doin' anything just to keep you near
But I'm not her,
no, I'm not her
I won't beg you,
baby, let's be clear
I'm the prize, better recognize You can't play with me like them
other girls I'm not her,
no, I'm not her
If you want my love,
you gotta earn it first
I'm the prize, I'm the prize Know my worth,
I won't compromise I'm not her,
no, I'm not her You don't choose me,
baby—I decide
Took me a while,
but now I know my worth
I'm not the kind of girl who gives her goodies first
You want the cart before the horse,
tryna skip the work
If you want me,
baby, better stay the course No cutting corners,
you gotta take your time
Show me you deserve a woman of my kind
I'm not chasing love,
and I won't compromise If you want a place beside me,
recognize the prize
You must be used to women caterin'
Doin' anything just to keep you near
But I'm not her,
no, I'm not her I won't beg you,
baby, let's be clear
I'm the prize, better recognize You can't play with me like them
other girls I'm not her,
no, I'm not her
If you want my love,
you gotta earn it first
I'm the prize,
I'm the prize Know my worth,
I won't compromise I'm not her,
no, I'm not her You don't choose me,
baby—I decide
You must be used to the wining and dining
Used to these women doing all the providing Want to be treated
like you're the princess But I'm not her,
no, I'm not her (Not her,
not her)
No, I'm not her
(Not her, not her) Baby,
I'm the prize (I'm the prize,
I'm the prize) Better recognize
I'm the prize I decide
(Yeah) I'm not her,
no, I'm not her
If you want my love,
you gotta
earn
it first
