Lyrics: Me'Shell Ndegéocello. Mary Magdalene.

I often watch you the way you whore yourself
You're so beautiful
You flirt, tease, enviously I wish you'd flirt with me

Perhaps I'm enticed by what you are
I imagine us jumpin' the broom, foolish I know
'Cause that's not the life you live

You live alone, in a crowded bed
Never remembering faces, conversations
Just the body for the lonely
Spend one night with me, satisfy me for free
I'll love you endlessly

Yourself and that you
Give them what they want
So give me what I want

Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one

Forgive me for what I want

Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you
Tell me I'm the only one, baby

In a harlot's dress you wear the smile of a child
With the faith of Mary Magdalene
Yet you wash the feet of unworthy men

Come and I'll set you free
Into an endless valley of fruits both sweet and sour
And whatever displeases your palate
My kisses will wash away, stay

If you must dance, dance for me
So blessed are the pure at heart
For they shall see God
So close your eyes and dream

For the world will blind you
And I'll judge not
So that I may not be judged
Give me what I want

Tell me I'm the only one, give me
I want to marry you, babe
Tell me I'm the only one, the only one

Yes babe, tell me

Tell me I'm the only one
I'm the only one, give me
Satisfy me for free
I want to marry you

Tell me I'm the only one, give me
Satisfy me for free
Tell me

Tell me I'm the only one
Satisfy me for free
Satisfy me for free

Tell me, tell me I'm the only one
[Incomprehensible]
Your angel eyes
The only one
So blessed are the pure in heart

Satisfy me for free
Your angel eyes
Tell me I'm the only one
Satisfy me for free

Tell me I'm the only one
Satisfy me for free
