"I Ain't That Desperate Yet" lyrics

"I Ain't That Desperate Yet"

My friends tell me I need to be
Out on the town in skinny jeans
Workin' it like all them young girls do

They said just sit down in that chair
We'll wax them brows and fix your hair
Make a dime store diva outta you

These days, everybody wants to be somebody else
I told them and I'll tell you, just like I told myself

I ain't that desperate yet
Still got some good stuff left
I'd like to get a little
But I still have my self-respect
And I ain't that desperate yet

Well, I guess some little bird done spread the word
'Cause when you called you said you heard
That I've been missing you and feeling lonely

Well, it crossed my mind to give it up
And finally say enough's enough
And let you come on over here and hold me

Well, it might be fun to fool around
And have a drink or two
And, honey, I'd be up for that with anyone but you

'Cause I ain't that desperate yet
Still got some good stuff left
I'd like to get a little
But I still have my self-respect
And I ain't that desperate yet

Well, I'd like to find a man that I could love on now and then
But if it means not bein' me or getting back with him
Well, I'm giving up on men

'Cause I ain't that desperate yet
I still got some good stuff left
I'd like to get a little
But I still have my self-respect
And I ain't that desperate yet
No, I ain't that desperate yet
