Don't act like you can't act
I know what you think you're doing
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your motherDon't act like you can't act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your motherYou came up too late
You came up too late now
You came up too late
To do a thingCome on look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie?
I bet you can't, you know why?
I'm dressed like your motherLook me in the eye now
You wanna try to tell a lie?
You can't, you know why?
I'm dressed like your motherYou came up too late
You came up too late now
You came up too late
Play dumb, play dead, play straightWho's got it figured out?
Play dumb, play dead, play straight
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight, try to manipulateM A N I P U late, M A N I P U late
M A N I P U late, M A N I P U late
Am I too, am I late? Am I too, am I late?
Am I, am I, am I, am I, am I too late?Who's got it figured out?
Left, right, left, right
Got it figured out
Who's got it figured out?
Play straightStand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
You better look me in the eye now
Treat me like your motherCome on look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie?
You can't, you know why?
I'm dressed like your motherPlay dumb, play dead, try to manipulateYou blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lieYou blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lieYou blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lieWho's got it figured out?
Left, right, left, right
Got it figured out
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight, try and manipulateWho's got it figured out?
Left, right, left, right
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight, try to manipulateYou blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
