Ow!

Baby, does he do it for you?
When he's finished, does he step back and adore you?
I just gotta know
'Cause your time is money and I won't let him waste it
Oh no-no (Ow!)
Baby, just go with it

You're irreplaceable, a collectible
Just like fine china

He's so replaceable (Woo-hoo)
(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, uh, da-da-da)
You're worth the chase you're puttin' on

[Chorus]
It's alright (Yeah), I'm not dangerous
When you're mine (Woo), I'll be generous

Just like fine china
It's alright (Girl), I'm not dangerous (I'm not dangerous)
When you're mine (Girl), I'll be generous
(You are) You're irreplaceable (You are), a collectible (Hey!)
(You are) just like fine china
[Bridge]
Took me a while (Yeah) to find your love (Hey!)
Ain't no amount of time in this world (Ho!)
Save me a lot of time and just love me (Hey!)
Daily, baby, feel it in your soul
Are you ready? (Oh)
I know your heart been tellin' you, you belong to me (Haha)
Ah-na-na, no-woah
[Chorus]
It's alright (Yeah, woah), I'm not dangerous (I'm not dangerous, hey!)
When you're mine (Woah, I'll get you girl), I'll be generous (I, I, no)
You're irreplaceable, a collectible
Just like fine china
[Outro]

Uh
Oh, oh no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
