What For

(アルバム： Thelma Houston - 1983)

I'm waiting here
For another chance, my dear
Standing in line like a fool
Wondering why
You never said goodbye
How could you treat me so cruel?

You didn't want it
You didn't need it
You just had to know you could score
You satisfied me
Then you denied me
I just wanna ask you, what for?

It's cold and it's dim
And I feel like a tramp
And maybe I did play a part
You loosen my belt
And something there I felt
You just got a hold of my heart

But I know
(You didn't want it) You didn't want it
(You didn't need it) No, you didn't need it
Just had to know that you could score
Oh, baby
(You satisfied me) Mmhm...
(Then you denied me) Oh...
And I just wanna ask you, baby, what for?

(You didn't want it) You didn't want it
And I know
(You didn't need it) You didn't need it
You just had to know you could score
Baby, baby, baby...
You... (you satisfied me) satisfied me
And then... (then you denied me) you denied me
I just wanna ask you, baby, what for?

I know this was rude
And I'm, I'm so sorry to intrude
But now that I know, just where it's at
I'll say goodbye, before I start to cry
I thought it was much more than that...

(You didn't want it) You didn't want it
(You didn't need it) I know you didn't need it
You just had to know that you could score
Baby, baby... ooh!
You satisfied me (you satisfied me)
And then you denied me (then you denied me)
And I just wanna ask you, baby
I wanna know: what for, what for?

(You didn't want it) You didn't want it
I know (You didn't need it) you didn't ever, ever need it
You just had to know you could score, oh...
You satisfied me (you satisfied me)
And then you denied me (then you denied me)
And I just wanna ask you
Please tell me, tell me: what for...?
