Lyrics

uh huh uh huh
oh no no
uh huh uh uh huh

Push me down, hit me up, tell yourself I'm not enough (I'm not enough)

Then it's how will I live without you?
Then it's what do I owe you?
Then it's what do you think you can do for me?

(well) Well (well)

You can take me, you can use me (you can use me), you can lie and you can cheat. You can sell me, you can own me, but you cannot try to control me. And you can't change me.

Curse me out, pull me down until I break. Plug your ears, shut my mouth, see what I can take (see what I can take)

well, well, well

Know that I see you, know that I know you, know I'm aware of what you do, but I won't be bitter, I won't be angry. You can't turn me into you.

no, no, well, oh oh

Cause you can trick me, you can fool me, you can leave me and you can rule me, but you can't have me and you can't be me, and you'll always need me (always need me)

Oh and you, you'll always need me (need me) Oh ooh

Curse me out, chew me up, push me down, keep my mouth shut. See how much that I can take cause I won't break.

Cause you can trick me, you can fool me, you can leave me and you can rule me, (aah), and you'll always need me.

You'll always need me.
