Pedestal

Well I've been called a lot of things
Been criticized, been demeaned, ooh yeah
People try to tell me, "Jay, this is how it should be”
(That’s just the way it is man)
I've played the fool so many times
I wear my heart on my sleeve, ooh baby
I've been hurt, my love denied
People say I'm naive
(Hey, I’m just trying to help you out)
They say in the battle of the sexes
My friend you are unarmed
They say chivalry is dead
Try "game" instead
Don't waste your time with charm
Pussy on a pedestal
That's where it belongs
If you can't treat your lover right
Send her here to my arms
Pussy on a pedestal
That's where it belongs
If you can't treat your lover right
Send her here to my arms
Now I know love can cause you pain
Believe me it's made me weep
Trust that I know the price u pay
A broken heart don't come cheap
Still there's no need to play these games
Aloof & cool, hip & sleek
‘Cause all she's lookin' for's to love ya unconditionally
(Well, there you go with that naive stuff)
They say in the battle of the sexes
My friend you are unarmed
They say chivalry is dead
Try "game" instead
Don't waste your time with charm
Pussy on a pedestal
That's where it belongs
If you can't treat your lover right
Send her here to my arms
(Yeah, yeah)
Pussy on a pedestal
That's where it belongs
(That's where it belongs, oh!)
If you can't treat your lover right
Send her here to my arms
If you need a man who understands
Just what your mind & body need
Then girl take my hand
We’ll make a plan & live out all your fantasies, oh!
Pussy on a pedestal
(Pussy on a pedestal)
That's where it belongs
(Yeah, yeah)
If you can't treat your lover right
Send her here to my arms
(Just send your lover, fool, just send your love to me)
Pussy on a pedestal
(On a pedestal)
That's where it belongs
(That's where it belongs, oh!)
If you can't treat your lover right
(You gotta treat her right)
Send her here to my arms
(Or send your love, send your lover to my loving arms)
