Let me tell U a story
My favorite band in life is playing town on Wednesday's night
I wish 2 God I had the nerve 2 go
The singer in the band is my type, not 2 big or small
But I hate 2 let my inner feelings show
My made-up name is Vanity cuz a girl's best friend's her pride
And a working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks
Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie
But with the female, 3 x 2 = 6
When I'm older, I wanna be a movie star just like Greta Garbo
Well, then I could tell everybody what 2 do
Well, she was so cool, it was plain 2 see that she was in control
I bet she never played the part of anyone's fool
So, my made-up name is Vanity cuz a girl's best friend's her pride
And a working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks
(Oh no, oh no)
Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie
But with the female, 3 x 2 = 6
Play your song one time baby girl
I don't think they heard U now, baby
That's all I need 2 say because I think U understand
Unless, of course, in another life U were a man
Please believe me when I tell U a girl's best friend's her pride
A working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks
(No she don't)
Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie
But with the female, well, 3 x 2 = 6
Won't somebody help me?
Please believe me when I tell U a girl's best friend's her pride
A working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks
Sister, can U hear me?
(Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie)
But with the female,
(3 x 2 = 6) 3 x 2 = 6
(Sister, can U hear me talkin' 2 ya?)
(Please believe me when I tell U a girl's best friend's her pride)
When I tell ya a girl's best friend's her pride
(A working girl don't have 2 tolerate the mailman's tricks)
(Sister, can U hear me?)
(Everybody gets 3 years of tribulation unless they lie)
But with the female, 3 x 2 = 6
