Lyrics

Mercedes with Brittany and Tina:
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo

Mercedes (Brittany and Tina):
Are you a man who loves, cherishes and cares for me?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Are you a guard in the prison maximum security?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Do we stay home all the time cause you want me to yourself?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Or am I locked away out of fear I'll find someone else?
(Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)

Well, I don't like (Brittany and Tina: Hee-hee)
Living under your spotlight (Brittany and Tina: Hee-hee)
Just because you think I might (Brittany and Tina: Hee-hee)
Find somebody worthy (Brittany and Tina: Woah oh oh)

Mercedes with Brittany and Tina:
Oh, I don't like (Brittany and Tina: Yeah, hee-hee)
Living under spotlight (Brittany and Tina: Yeah, hee-hee)
Maybe if you treat me right (Brittany and Tina: Yeah, hee-hee)
You won't have to worry (Brittany and Tina: Woah oh oh)

Mercedes (Brittany and Tina):
Is this a relationship? Fulfilling your needs, as well as mine?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Or is this just my sentence? Am I doing time?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Oh if this love real real love, then I'm staying. No doubt
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
But if I'm just love's prisoner, then I'm busting out
(Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)

Mercedes with Brittany and Tina:
(Mercedes: Ohh, baby)
Oh, I don't like (Brittany and Tina: Hee-hee)

Brittany and Tina:
Living under your spotlight, hee-hee (Mercedes: Spotlight, yeah)
Just because you think I might, hee-hee (Mercedes: Just because you think I might)
Find somebody worthy, woah oh oh (Mercedes: Find somebody worthy)
Oh, I don't like, yeah, hee-hee (Mercedes: I don't like)
Living under your spotlight, yeah, hee-hee (Mercedes: Living under your, your)
Maybe if you treat me right, yeah, hee-hee (Mercedes: Treat me right, yeah)
You won't have to worry, woah oh oh (Mercedes: You will never have to worry, no)

Mercedes:
Boy, you ought to be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Loving me, loving me so wrong
Baby, all I do is try (Brittany and Tina: Try)
To show you that you're mine (Brittany and Tina: Mine)
One and only guy (Brittany and Tina: Only guy)
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes cause baby I don't like

Mercedes with Brittany and Tina:
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo (Mercedes: Ooh ooh ooh)
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo

Brittany and Tina:
(Mercedes: Hey, 'cause I don't like)
Oh, I don't like, hee-hee
Living under your spotlight, hee-hee (Mercedes: No, no)

Mercedes with Brittany and Tina:
Just because you think I might (Brittany and Tina: Hee-hee)
Find somebody worthy (Brittany and Tina: Whoa oh oh) (Mercedes: No, no)

Brittany and Tina:
Oh, I don't like, yeah, hee-hee (Mercedes: I don't like, yeah)
Living under your spotlight, yeah, hee-hee (Mercedes: Living under your spotlight)
Maybe if you treat me right, yeah, hee-hee (Mercedes: Treat me right, yeah)
You won't have to worry, woah oh oh (Mercedes: You will never have to worry)

Mercedes:
I don't like...

Trivia

  • Before the song begins, Shane compares Mercedes to Effie White from Dreamgirls. In the 2006 film adaption, Effie is portrayed by Jennifer Hudson. Ironically, this song is also originally sung by Jennifer Hudson.
  • This is one of the few songs where the backup singers sing lines by themselves.
