Lyrics

Who gave you permission to rearrange me?
Certainly not me
Who told you that it was alright to love me?
Certainly, certainly not me
I was not looking for no love affair
(And now you wanna fix me)
Was not looking for no love affair
(And now you want to mold me)
I was not looking for no love affair
(And now you wanna kiss me)
Was not looking for no love affair
(And now you wanna control me) Hold me!
I know you're tryna get creative with my love
And that's alright, but
You tried to get a little tricky
Turned my back and then you slipped me a mickey
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
The world is mine
When I wake up (When I wake up)
I don't need nobody telling me the time
Who told you that it was alright to love me?
Certainly not me – no way, no
Who gave you permission to rearrange me?
Certainly, certainly not me – oh no, no
I was not looking for no love affair
(And now you wanna fix me)
Was not looking for no love affair, no
(And now you want to mold me)
I was not looking for no love affair, no, no, no...
(And now you wanna kiss me)
I was not looking for no love affair, no
(And now you wanna control me) Hold me!
I know you're tryna get creative with my love
And that's real cute, but
You tried to get a little tricky
Turned my back and then you slipped me a mickey
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
The world is mine
When I wake up (When I wake up)
I don't need nobody telling me the time!
(Certainly) Certainly not me, no
(Certainly) I was not lookin', was not lookin'
For no love affair
(Certainly) Certainly not me, no, no – no way
(Certainly)
