INTRO [[   Every single day
           I walk down the street
           I hear people say,
           "Baby's so sweet"

           Ever since puberty
           Everybody stares at me
           Boys - girls
           I can't help it baby    ]]

INTRO [[   A tiger in a cage
           Can never see the sun
           This diva needs her stage

           Folks'd kill to fill your shoes
           You love the limelight too, baby     ]]

           I love margins and discipline
           I make lists in my sleep

           Never quit - I follow through
           I hate mess - but I love you
