Certainly (Flipped It) 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 want to 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 want to kiss me
I was not looking for no love affair
And now you want to control me
Hold me

I know you're trying to 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 not me

The world is mine
When I wake up
I don't need nobody telling me the time

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 want to fix me
Was not looking for no love affair
And now you want to mold me
I was not looking for no love affair no no
And now you want to kiss me
I was not looking for no love affair no
And now you want to control me
Hold me

You're really trying to 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

The world is mine
When I wake up
I don't need nobody telling me the time

The world is mine
When I wake up
I don't need no nigga rolling over looking after me (no no)

And then you slipped me a mickey (you know I wasn't ready) oh no
