LYRICS


Turn the game back on.  That's my refuge.
One place where what we say
Don't matter more than what we do.
Ain't going with you to the store.  Don't need another list of chores.
I got some things I need to do that
Ain't in that script of yours.

You got your life all planned out,
So you can always stand out.
What's a man to you but
Just one more accessory?
You think of ways to improve me,
But not how to move me.
Well, your plans left out one little thing:
What's in it for me?

A remodeled kitchen
Don't top what I'm wishin' for,
But I do what I can to give you some luxury.
You're all about havin'.  I dream of achievin'.
You want me for cash flow--
I need you believin' in me.     But....

You got your life all planned out,
So you can always stand out.
What's a man to you but
Just one more accessory?
You think of ways to improve me,
But not how to move me.
Well, your plans left out one little thing:
What's in it for me?

I do more than you realize for you,
But are you really there for me?
I got needs you ain't even considered--
How can I get you to see?

You got your life all planned out,
So you can always stand out.
What's a man to you but
Just one more accessory?
You think of ways to improve me,
But not how to move me.
Well, your plans left out one little thing:
What's in it for me?

Yeah, if you can't change your ways,
I gotta re-think why I stay.
What's in it for me?
