Tell me why I get this feeling

That you really wanna turn me on

Tell me why I get this feeling

That you really wanna make me yours, ah, ah

'Cause I see you trying

Subliminally trying

To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms

I admit it's exciting

Parts of me kinda like it

But before I lead you on

Baby, tell me what's your motive?

What's your motive?

What's your motive? Ah, ah

So tell me what's your motive?

What's your motive?

What's your motive? Ah, ah

I could call bullsh- out from a mile away (don't say)

You want me if you can keep coming back for me

Might have to curve you if you just can't talk straight (just say)

Say what you mean 'cause you might get it

'Cause I see you trying

Subliminally trying

To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms

I admit it's exciting

Parts of me kinda like it

But before I lead you on

Tell me what's your motive?

What's your motive?

What's your motive? Ah, ah

So tell me what's your motive?

You treat me like gold, baby

Now you wanna spoil me

Did you wanna trophy

Or you wanna sport me, baby?

Want me on your neck

'Cause you wanted respect

'Cause you fightin some war, baby

Well, I had to bring the fists out

Had to put a wall up

But don't trust phonies baby, yeah, yeah

You gotta tell me what's your motive, baby

'Cause you got your candy on your arm

No need to sugarcoat a lie

Say what you want

I needed a real bonafide G

Can you promise me you'll bring it all tonight? (Bring it all to me)

'Cause I need you to be wise

Tell me everything that's on your mind c'mon
