[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you, yeah?)
Are you a guard in a 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 that I'll find someone else?
(Is that you? Is that you, yeah?)
[Chorus]
Well, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Just because you think I might
Find somebody worthy
Oh-oh-oh-oh
No, I don't like
Living under your spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right
You won't have to worry
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Is this a relationship fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you, yeah?)
Or is this just my sentence? Am I doing time?
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you, yeah?)
Oh, if this love, real real love, then I'm staying, no doubt
(Is that you? Is that you? Is that you, yeah?)
But if I'm just love's prisoner, then I'm bustin' out
(Is that you? Is that you, yeah?)
[Chorus]
Oh, baby, I don't like
Living under your spotlight (Spotlight)
Just because you think I might (Just because you think I might)
Find somebody worthy (Find somebody worthy)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
No, I don't like (I don't like)
Living under your spotlight (Living under your, under your)
Maybe if you treat me right (Treat me right)
You won't have to worry (You won't have to worry, no, no)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
Oh, you oughta be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think you're doing
Lovin' me, lovin' me so wrong
Baby, all I do is try (Try)
To show you that you're my (My)
One and only guy (My guy)
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes, 'cause baby, I don't like
[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Hey, 'cause I don't like
Living under your spotlight (Oh no)
Just because you think I might
Find somebody worthy (Find somebody worthy)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
No, I don't like, yeah
Living under your spotlight (Living under your spotlight)
Maybe if you treat me right (Treat me right, yeah)
You won't have to worry (You don't ever have to worry)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
I don't like

Ne-Yo on the challenges in choosing the first single:
They were really trying to figure out where to take her. The main issue with Jennifer Hudson is her voice is so huge, so how do you take that and radio-ize it, make it radio-friendly? She can’t do (“And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from “Drea...
