Stanley Songtext
von Jazmine Sullivan

I′m in the kitchen (huh)
Making the dinner that I know you like
And I've been cleaning this damn house (huh)
Oh, all day and all night

But you don′t pay me no attention, Stanley
I'm needing your attention baby
Just show me some appreciation
Or maybe take a bitch to dinner

Sometimes make me feel special, Stanley
I really shouldn't have to tell you, baby
This isn′t how you treat a lady
Don′t you know you got a winner?

I don't know why I waste my time
When you don′t care how hard I try to make you smile
(If you ain't careful) you gon′ lose a good thing (huh)
You gon' lose a thing


I try to dress up (huh)
And look like something just to turn you on
I′m spending money I don't got (huh)
Because you used to like my hair red, my nails done

But you don't pay me no attention, Stanley
I′m needing your attention, baby
Just show me some appreciation
Or maybe take a bitch to dinner

Sometimes make me feel special, Stanley
I really shouldn′t have to tell you, baby
This isn't how you treat a lady
Don′t you know you got a winner?

I don't know why I waste my time
When you don′t care how hard I try to make you smile
(If you ain't careful) you gon′ lose a good thing (huh)
You gon' lose a thing

I don't know why I waste my time
When you don′t care how hard I try to make you smile
(If you ain′t careful) you gon' lose a good thing


I try so hard to be good to you, Stanley
But why don′t you care, and you take me for granted?
You know I love you, but I'm getting tired
You might get burned ′cause you're playing with fire (playing with fire)
All you do is go to the bar
Worrying ′bout that rusty car
Mess around, you're gonna lose my heart
And another man is gonna do your part

Huh
Huh
Huh
