Lyrics

[Verse 1] Boyfriend, I'm true to you, don't make me blue I thought we had together and that everything was going a-okay But then you started to show me another side Of you I've never seen before [Pre-Chorus] Nothing that I would do was ever enough for you boy, ooh baby I let you drive in my Mercedes Benz Loaned you a little cash to spend But still that just wasn't enough, oh no [Chorus] 'Cause what you see always seems to be what you sweat Ooh, you're never satisfied You're always wanting something better yet That's the way you are Wanting more and more, and more [Verse 2] My friends all think I'm crazy After everything that I know about you I'm still having mixed emotions, boy They just don't wanna fade away [Pre-Chorus] Nothing that I would do was ever enough for you boy, ooh baby I let you cruise in my Mercedes Benz Loaned you a little cash to spend But still that just wasn't enough, oh, oh, oh [Chorus] What you see always seems to be what you sweat, hoo, hoo You're never satisfied Always wanting something better yet, hey, hey, hey What you see always seems to be what you sweat You, you, you, you, you, you're never satisfied Always wanting something better yet [Bridge] He's sweating, he's got to conquer He's sweating by the hour He's sweating, he's got the taste Still sweating on the flower Woo, he's sweating, he can't stand it He's making moves, that's how he planned it He's not satisfied with the best He's got to check out all the rest [Pre-Chorus] Nothing that I would ever be enough for you boy, uh-uh, uh-uh You wore out my Mercedes Benz Gave you a little cash to spend But still that just wasn't enough, ooh-ooh [Chorus] What you see always seems to be what you sweat (Baby, baby, baby, baby) You're never satisfied Always wanting something better (Something better, better) What you see always seems to be what you sweat (Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo) You're never satisfied (Never, never) Always wanting something better (Something better and better and better and better and better and better) [Outro] Oh yeah, oh (What you sweat) What you sweat (You're never satisfied) You are never, never, never, never (Always wanting something better) Hey, hey, hey, yeah, something better (What you see) Something better and better and better and better and better and better (Always seems to be what you sweat) Oh yeah, oh, what you sweat (Always wanting something better) Something better and better
