He was standing in the lobby with big, brown eyes
A beautiful woman standing to his side
I walked by and he said, "Hi." I never thought that I would be his type
He suggested that we should go outside
He dazzled me with money and his fancy ride
He said he'd take me away and buy me diamond rings
Thanks, but no thanks. I got my own thing
I'm trying to be that woman, the independent lady who depends on no one
Skee bo skele boe a ma de do. You better watch out 'cause I'm hip to you
Skee bo skele boe a ma do dang. Thanks, but no thanks. I got my own thing
He might be blushing but it's hard to tell
He began to grin as the clock struck twelve
Standing alone with such a handsome fella
He might be a prince but I'm no Cinderella
He's got money, fancy things, quite handsome, coated with fame
He didn't even think that I'd know his name
Tried to play me out but I was hip to his game
Skee bo skele boe a ma do dat. The lady's all paws as he tilts his hat
Skee bo skele boe a ma do ne. I can't believe that he's looking at me
Skee bo skele boe a ma do no. There's an independent woman
Got a hold of her own
Skee bo skele boe a ma do dang. Thanks, but no thanks. I got my own thing
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah. boom ba doop, yeah
