Mahalia – Whatever Simon Says

Lyrics Whatever Simon Says – Mahalia

I’ve never been the kind of girl to welcome your interests
I heard that you like a little black dress so I wear red
I’ve never been the kind of b**ch
To ever let a b**ch get in my head
So you should just say less
Never done what Simon says

Wear your makeup, make it look casual
Wear your hair straight, actually natural
That don’t make no sense, honey
I don’t need savin’, I am not a damsel
But if your opinions are too much to handle

Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
If you like a girl that does what she supposed to do and I don’t
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
I’m not that kind of girl
If you like her, could you like me too

Whatever, whatever am I gonna do
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, I’ll do what I do
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, I’ll do what I do

Take one, two step in my sh*es
You’ll see that I can’t let you do what you’re tryna do to me
I’ve given up control before, it left me in pieces
But when I try to talk to you about it
All I ever hear you say is, You can cry, but can’t you smile
I know you wanna talk but not right now
And that don’t make no sense, no
I don’t need a sticker, I am not fragile
But if your opinions are too much to handle

Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
If you like a girl that does what she supposed to do and I don’t
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
I’m not that kind of girl
If you like her, could you like me too

Whatever, whatever am I gonna do
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, I’ll do what I do
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever

How did I pay to love you
Cost me pennies on pennies, pounds on pounds
When I didn’t really want you
Turned my heart and my pockets inside out
If you didn’t know I was your sponsor, you know now
I was never gonna fit into your mould
I was never gonna do what I was told
I was never
Guess, I was never gonna give you what you want
I was never gonna act a certain way
And if you try to make me, I’ll never stay
I’d never stay, so

Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
If you like a girl that does what she supposed to do and I don’t
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
I’m not that kind of girl
If you like her, could you like me too

Whatever, whatever am I gonna do
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, I’ll do what I do
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, I’ll do what I do

Oh yeah
Whatever, whatever, I’ll do what I do, baby
I’ll do what I do…
