Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna turn me on
'Cause I see you tryin', subliminally tryin'
To see if I'm gon' be the one to sing along
I admit it's exciting, parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on
Baby, tell me, what's your motive?
What's your motive?
What's your motive?
So tell me, what's your motive?
What's your motive?
What's your motive?
You want me if you can't keep comin' back for me
Might have to curve you if you just can't talk straight
Say what you mean 'cause you might get it
'Cause I see you tryin', subliminally tryin'
To see if I'm gon' be the one to sing along
I admit it's exciting, parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on
Tell me, what's your motive?
You treat me like gold, baby
Now you wanna spoil me
Did you want a trophy or you wanna sport me, baby?
Want me on your neck 'cause you wanted respect
'Cause you fightin' some war, baby
Well, I had to bring the fists out, had to put a wall up
I don't trust phonies, baby
You gotta tell me, what's your motive, baby?
'Cause you got your candy on your arm
No need to sugarcoat a lie
Say what you want, I needed a real bonafide G
Can you promise me you'll bring it all tonight?
'Cause I need you to be wise
Tell me everything that's on your mind, come on
'Cause I see you tryin', subliminally tryin'
To see if I'm gon' be the one to sing along
I admit it's exciting, parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on
