[Verse 1]
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You (Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never stand up for that)
It's you and me (Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never, can't handle that)
(Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never, can't handle that)
(Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never, can't handle that)

[Verse 2]
Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me?
Like where you be at?
'Cause I'm out four in the morning
On the corner, rolling, doing my own thing

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I
Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up
Or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, oh
(Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never, can't handle that)
(Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never, can't handle that)
(Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never, can't handle that)
(Can't be getting mad)
(She'd never, can't handle that)

[Verse 3]
Girl, go 'head and be just like 'em
Go run the streets just like 'em
Come home and sleep like 'em
Creep like em'
Front with ya friends
Act hard when you're with 'em like 'em
Keep a straight face when ya tell them that I
Always have an air-tight alibi
Keep him in the dark
What he don't know won't break his heart
[Verse 4]
Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that
Tell you I love you, but when you call, I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me?
Like where you be at?
'Cause I'm out four in the morning
On the corner, rolling, doing my own thing, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
What if I
Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up
Or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
[Verse 5]
You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
There is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You
It's you and me, won't be unhappy

[Bridge]
If I was always gone (Can't be getting mad)
With the sun getting home (She'd never, can't handle that)
Would ya like that? (Can't be getting mad)
Told you I was with my crew (She'd never, can't handle that)
When I knew it wasn't true (Can't be getting mad)
If I act like you (She'd never, can't handle that)
Walk a mile off in your shoes (Can't be getting mad)
I'm messing with your head again (She'd never, can't handle that)
Dose of your own medicine

Come on, baby
Come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience

Can't be getting mad (Ooh)
She'd never, can't handle that
Can't be getting mad
She'd never, can't handle that
Can't be getting mad (Ooh)
She'd never, can't handle that
Can't be getting mad
She'd never, can't handle that

[Chorus]
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

[Outro]
What if I (Can't be getting mad)
Had a thing on the side? (She'd never, can't handle that)
Made ya cry? (Can't be getting mad)
Would the rules change up (She'd never, can't handle that)
Or would they still apply? (Can't be getting mad)
(Would they still apply?) (She'd never, can't handle that)
If I played you like a toy (Can't be getting mad)
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy (She'd never, can't handle that)
