[Verse 1]
I've never been the kind of girl to welcome your interest
I heard that you like a little black dress, so I wear red
I've never been the kind of bitch to ever let a bitch get in my head
So you should just say less
Never done what Simon says
"Wear your makeup, make it look casual"
"Wear your hair straight, actually natural"
That don't make no sense, honey
I don't need savin', I am not a damsel
But if your opinions are too much to handle
[Chorus]
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
If you likе a girl that does what she supposed to do and I don't?
Whatеver, whatever am I gonna do with you?
I'm not that kind of girl
If you like her, could you like me, too?
[Post-Chorus]
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do?
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever, whatever, I'll do what I do (Oh, whatever)
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever (Whatever)
Whatever, whatever, I'll do what I do
[Verse 2]
Take one, two step in my shoes
You'll see that I can't let you do what you're tryna do to me
I've given up control before, it left me in pieces
But when I try to talk to you about it
All I ever hear you say is
"You can cry, but can't you smile?"
I know you wanna talk but not right now
And that don't make no sense, no
I don't need a sticker, I am not fragile
But if your opinions are too much to handle
[Chorus]
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
If you like a girl that does what she supposed to do and I don't?
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you?
I'm not that kind of girl
If you like her, could you like me, too?
[Post-Chorus]
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do? (Whatever, whatever)
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, yeah
Whatever, whatever, I'll do what I do (Oh, whatever)
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever (Whatever)
[Verse 3]
How did I pay to love you?
Cost me pennies on pennies, pounds on pounds
When I didn't really want you
Turned my heart and my pockets inside-out (Yeah)
If you didn't know I was your sponsor, you know now
I was never gonna fit into your mould
I was never gonna do as I was told
I was never
Guess I was never gonna give you what you want
I was never gonna act a certain way
And if you try to make me, I'll never stay
I'd never stay, so
[Chorus]
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you
If you like a girl that does what she supposed to do and I don't?
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do with you?
I'm not that kind of girl (Kind of girl)
If you like her, could you like me, too? (Oh, no)
[Post-Chorus]
Whatever, whatever am I gonna do?
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, oh, yeah
Whatever, whatever, I'll do what I do (Oh, whatever)
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, huh (Whatever)
Whatever, whatever, I'll do what I do
[Outro]
Oh, yeah
Whatever, whatever, I'll do what I do, baby
I'll do what I do
