OPENING 
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be 
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be, yeah 

VERSE 1: Sung by Aretha 

You've been hanging round my boyfriend 
You've been sayin that he's sweet, yeah 
Girl I know that you've been talking 
Because the talk is on the street 
You say that you are gonna steal his heart 
Well sweety you ain't gonna get that far 
You're after somethin that don't belong to you 
Well girlfriend I've got news for you 
(spoken):What are you trying to say Miss Thang?

VERSE 2: Sung by Whitney 

Well I just ain't the kind of woman 
To pick the fruit off of your tree, girl 
And you keep saying that he's your man 
Well that ain't what he said to me 
He blow me kissses as he drives away 
He sends me roses in the middle of the day, yeah 
You think it's you that he's thinking of 
But I'm the one he really, really loves 
(spoken): So what am I tring to say? Don't dis me

be you'll see 
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be 
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
