Certainly (Flipped It) Songtext
von Erykah Badu

Uh, Flip with me
Might be cool

Who gave you permission to rearrange me
Certainly not me
Who told you that it was alright to love me
Certainly, certainly not me

I was not looking for no love affair, baby
(And now you wanna fix me)
Was not looking for no love affair
(And now you want to mold me)
I was not looking for no love affair, baby
(Now you wanna kiss me)
I was not looking for no love affair
(And now you wanna control me)
Hold me


I know you′re trying to get creative with my love
And that's alright, but
You tried to get a little tricky
Turned my back
And then you slipped me a mickey

Certainly, certainly, certainly not me (I wasn′t ready)
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me

The world is mine when I wake up (when I wake up)
I don't need nobody tellin' me the time, oooh uh uh oh

Who gave you permission to rearrange me
Certainly not me
No way, no
Who told you that it was alright to love me
Certainly, certainly not me


I was not looking for no love affair
(And now you wanna fix me)
I was not looking for no love affair
(And now you want to mold me)
I was not looking for no love affair
(Now you wanna kiss me)
I was not looking for no love affair
(And now you wanna control me)
Hold me

I know you′re trying to get creative with my love
And that′s real cute, boy
You tried to get a little tricky
Turned my back
And then you slipped me a mickey

Certainly, certainly, certainly not me (Ooh)
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me (Ooh)
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me (Ooh)
Certainly, certainly, certainly not me (Ooh)

You know that that was mine
When I wake up (When I wake up)
I don't need nobody tellin′ me the time, no
The world is mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, uh, (When I wake up)
I don't need no nigga
Rollin′ over
Lookin' after me

No no
No no
No no
No no
No no

No no no no no no no no, no

Oh no, oh no, ohh
I don′t need, I don't need, no
No no no no
No no no no no no no no no, oh

(And then he slipped me a mickey) ooouuh
(And then he slipped me a mickey) (You know I wasn't ready)
(And then he slipped me a mickey) (′cause I admit baby)
(And then he slipped me a mickey) (baby)
(And then he slipped me a mickey) (oooh)
(And then he slipped me a mickey) (oh no nono)
