Backup Plan Songtext

von Angie Stone

Every woman's gotta back-up plan
If you ever start acting crazy, you know, if there's a maybe
Every woman's gotta back-up plan, you need to know
She's in control, ay, ay, every woman needs a back-up plan

Now if you let me, girlfriend, I'ma keep it real with you
There ain't no difference in the men that we're attracted to
No jobs, no house, no car and an attitude
But they break us down and then, in fact they put their thing on you

Act like a woman, think like a man
Please understand

Every woman's gotta back-up plan
If you ever start acting crazy, you know, if there's a maybe
Every woman's gotta back-up plan, you need to know
She's in control, ay, ay, every woman needs a back-up plan

Pay close attention, intuition that never will steer
You in the wrong direction, thoughtful reflection
Change up your game, don't get caught outside in the rain
You can't keep doing the same expecting shit to change

Act like a woman, think like a man
Please understand

Every woman's gotta back-up plan
If you ever start acting crazy, you know, if there's a maybe
Every woman's gotta back-up plan, you need to know
She's in control, ay, ay, every woman needs a back-up plan

Get yourself a back-up plan, back-up plan, oh yeah
Every woman's gotta back-up plan
Ha ha ha ha, you know how we do
Every woman's gotta back-up

'Cause of you I've learned, because of you've I've learned
Love is something kinda funky
Now that I understand it baby, now I understand it
I gotta back-up plan, I gotta back-up plan

Ignoring brings more, that's why you're knockin' at my door
You taught me well, that's why I won't pick up my cell
Don't lose your head baby, because my phone was dead
Ain't that the same thing

Every woman's gotta back-up plan
If you ever start acting crazy, you know, if there's a maybe
Every woman's gotta back-up plan, you need to know
She's in control, ay, ay, every woman needs a back-up plan

Every woman's gotta a back-up plan
Every woman needs a back-up man
