[MERCEDES with TINA & BRITTANY]
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo

[MERCEDES (BRITTANY & TINA)]
Are you a man who loves, cherishes and cares for me?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Are you a guard in the prison maximum security?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Do we stay home all the time cause you want me to yourself?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Or am I locked away out of fear I'll find someone else?
(Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
Well, I don't like (Hee-hee)
Living under your spotlight (Hee-hee)
Just because you think I might (Hee-hee)
Find somebody worthy (Whoa, oh oh)
[MERCEDES with TINA & BRITTANY (BRITTANY & TINA)]
Oh, I don't like (Yeah, hee-hee)
