[Verse 1]
I don’t wanna get married
I prefer the carry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I
Don't need nobody there for me
Oh, oh, I
I’m giving loving like it’s charity

[Verse 2]
You wanna love me
You better learn to share
Mama said life isn’t fair
I’ll break you gently
Skip over the teasin’
Call me sleazy
I prefer easy

[Pre-Chorus]
Hoe is life
Can’t be your groom
Can’t be your wife
But I’ll be your Romeo
Poison for the knife
You’ll be the death of me
I’ll tell you twice
[Chorus]
Hoe is life
Hoe is life

[Verse 3]
I, I heard free lovin is evil
But those people
Also think that we’re not equal
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I
I don’t got time for what they say
Oh, oh, I
I’m made of love and givin’ it away

[Pre-Chorus]
Hoe is life
Can’t be your groom
Can’t be your wife
But I’ll be your Romeo
Poison for the knife
You’ll be the death of me
I’ll tell you twice

[Chorus]
Hoe is life
Hoe is life
[Bridge]
I don’t mind
If my baby’s challenged morally
Emotionally or orally
I don’t care if she’s a whore, you see
‘Cause she’s bad
Don’t mind the fellas tryna holla
Or what she doin' for a dollar
She’s a hooker, she’s a dream
She’s got her hooks in me
She’s bad

[Pre-Chorus]
Hoe is life
Can’t be your groom
Can’t be your wife
But I’ll be your Romeo
Poison for the knife
You’ll be the death of me
I’ll tell you twice

[Chorus]
Hoe is life
Hoe is life

[Outro]
I can’t be your groom, your wife, your partner in life
I’m not your husband, it’s nothin’
Now past tense, it wasn't
