Funk Wok, Cheap Thang
Lyrics by Chris Shern

Are you competin’ baby, driven by your own lies
Every time I get to seekin’, you return with another grand prize

And I see through your disguise, gotta let you know

And I don’t want, I don’t want to be your recipe that gets mixed in your bowl of misery
And I don’t want, I don’t want to be your love child
You shut me down and you keep me from the in crowd

(And I don’t wanna) be your cheap thang
(And I don’t wanna) your wok-cheap funk thang

Look out the window, life can be so simple
My love creates a symbol, lack of respect is your crescendo
I came to win but you’re losing hope, let’s get the timing right

So can you see, can you see what ya doin’ now?
So try to breathe all the lovin’ that I’m givin’ out

You’ll love it, so tell me about your heartbreak and let me brush it all away

(And I don’t wanna) be your cheap thang
(And I don’t wanna) your wok-cheap funk thang
I don’t want it

Unto the heart of the beat and the reverie
And I can tell that you really want to get it out
I’m not the men from your past who struck misery
I’ll give you love if you really want to figure out
How we can chill and we kill all these silly games
Within the thrills of one’s happiness
So I don’t wanna be your cheap thang
So I don’t wanna be your cheap thang
