"Funky Attitude"

(Sheila E. / Peter Michael)

[Intro:]
Everybody right now
Everybody right now
Everybody right now
Everybody right now

So tell me baby, what's up with the act?
You got a chip on your shoulder
Baby just try to face it, I'm not coming back
Don't say I never told you
It's not so crazy just being friends
We don't have to be lovers
I know you're hurting, but out of respect
Don't talk about my mother
You spend so much time tryna be rude
Why the funky attitude?
Oh no!

It's second nature for men to be bad, for you that's okay
But if a girl wants a little romance, you say she's just an easy lay
You're wasting my time trying to be cool
So drop the funky attitude
Oh no!

[Chorus:]
I don't get how you're feelin' (Everybody right now)
I don't need no funky attitude
It ain't cool
I don't mind if you're trippin' (Everybody right now)
I don't need no funky attitude
It ain't you
I don't get how you're feelin' (Everybody right now)
I don't need no funky attitude
It ain't cool
I don't mind if you're trippin' (Everybody right now)
I don't need no funky attitude
It ain't you

[Interlude:]
Hey Pete, take it down
Every time I turn around, it's you, hanging out just to bother me
Hey, go back to your wannabes
I got things to do, I don't need this
First, you don't know, then you want a kiss
Man, you're too busy tryin' to be cool
I get more respect from a pit bull
So just ice the attitude

[Bridge:]
I don't- I don't- (Everybody right now)
I don't need f-f-f-funky
I don't- I don't- (Everybody right now)
I don't need
I don't- I don't- (Everybody right now)
I don't need f-f-f-funky
I don't- I don't- (Everybody right now)
Funky attitude
(Fellas, fellas)
(Everybody right now)
(Fellas, fellas)
(Everybody right now)

[Outro:]
Fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas, fellas
Too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
