Stare in the mirror, how do you look? A girl by herself or a girl by the book. Your parents won't give you, an inch to yourself, So packed up, so polished, so neat on the shelf. You know what I want, I want you to do, Make all of those mothers start looking at you. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. The shit heads that push you, around at work, They push, they push, there's no seconds to shirk. The bank writes you letters, what a good girl, two years in credit but are you yourself. You don't have to be along with them all, So boring, so normal, a brick in the wall. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all, Why accept, why accept, why accept, why accept it all. WHY ACCEPT.

I could make things good for you, it wouldn't cost you much, Pay enormous dividends, well not to you as such. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. You know I will persist, you know that I won't go away, You know you want me me and I don't believe you when you say. I don't like the things you do, all I ever hear from you is, Whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Stupid people always fall for flattery, I don't let anybody get the upper hand. When it looks like someone might begin to see through me, Then I put down everything that I don't understand. I like to make a profit out of everyone, I've got this real shallow salesman attitude. I'm always going on about the things I've done, I'll only talk to women when they're in the nude. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. I'll do you a favour, be as nice as I can be, But whatcha gonna give to me. Well I'm working my way up now, I don't really worry how. It doesn't matter where you're from, I'll use you then I'll move on. I'm the type who's always trying to work a deal, I'm the type that doesn't do a thing for free. I couldn't give a damn about the way you feel, All I want to know is, what's in it for me. What's in it for me, what's in it for me, What's in it for me. What's in it for me, what's in it for me, What's in it for me. Whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me. Whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me, whatcha gonna give to me.
