Lyrics
You say you want your own life
Well, I do too
You wanna lead me on?
Oh, well, I'll show you
Come on, girls, march it out
Show him what you're all about
Whoop! Bring the house down
Show him who's the leader
Bring your baby downtown
Go, cheerleaders
Baby, I'm a gangster too
And it takes two to tango
You don't wanna dance with me, dance with me
Honey, I'm in love with you
If you don't feel the same, boy
You don't wanna mess with me, mess with me
(Why? 'Cause I'm a) jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
If I can't have you, baby
Jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
No one else in this world can
(Bring your baby downtown)
(Go, cheerleaders)
You say you got your own life
Good for you
You got more important
Things to do
Come on, girls, say it loud
Tell him that it's over now
Whoop! You're not off
The hook, you deceiver
I know what you done-done
Sing, cheerleaders
Baby, I'm a gangster too
And it takes two to tango
You don't wanna dance with me, dance with me
Honey, I'm in love with you,
If you don't feel the same, boy
You don't wanna mess with me
(Why? 'Cause I'm a) jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
If I can't have you, baby
Jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
No one else in this world can
(Bring your baby downtown)
(Go, cheerleaders)
Be aggressive, B-E aggressive
I said be aggressive, B-E aggressive
B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E
Whoop! Bring the house down
Show him who's the leader
Bring your baby downtown
Go cheerleaders
(If I can't have you, baby)
Think you should be my man
(If I can't have you, baby)
No one's better than I am
(If I can't have you, baby)
Come on, give in to me, bam
If I can't have you, baby
No one else in this world can
Baby, I'm a gangster too
And it takes two to tango
You don't wanna dance with me, dance with me
Honey, I'm in love with you
If you don't feel the same, boy
You don't wanna mess with me
('Cause I'm a) jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
If I can't have you, baby
Jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
No one else in this world can
Jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
If I can't have you, baby
Jealous, jealous, jealous girl
If I can't have you, baby
No one else in this world can
