(Verse 1)
Tell me why I get this [F]feeling
That you [Dm7]really wanna turn me [Am]on[E7/B]
Tell me why I get this [F]feeling
That you [Dm7]really wanna make me [Am]yours[E7/B]
(Bridge)
‘Cause I see you [F]tryin’,
subliminally [Dm7]tryin’
To see if I’m gon’ [Am]be
the one that’s in your arms
I admit it’s [F]exciting,
parts of me kinda [Dm7]like it
But [Am]before I lead you on[E7]
(Chorus)
Baby, tell me, what’s your [F]motive
[Dm7]What’s your motive
[Am]What’s your motive[E7/B]
So tell me, what’s your [F]motive
[Dm7]What’s your motive
[Am]What’s your motive[E7/B]
(Verse 2)
[F]I could call bullshit all
from a mile [Dm7]away (don’t say)
[Am]You want me if you can’t [E7/B]keep comin’ back for me
[F]Might have to curve you if you
just can’t talk [Dm7]straight (just say)
[Am]Say what you mean ’cause you [E7/B]might get it
(Bridge)
‘Cause I see you [F]tryin’,
subliminally [Dm7]tryin’
To see if I’m gon’ [Am]be the
one that’s in your [E7]arms
I admit it’s [F]exciting,
parts of me kinda [Dm7]like it
But [Am]before I lead you on[E7]
(Chorus)
Tell me, what’s your [F]motive
[Dm7]What’s your motive
[Am]What’s your motive[E7/B]
So tell me, what’s your [F]motive
[Dm7]What’s your motive
[Am]What’s your motive,[E7/B] yeah, yeah, aye
(Interlude)
You treat me like [F]gold, baby
Now you wanna [Dm7]spoil me
Did you want a trophy
Now you wanna [Am]sport me, baby?
Want me on your [E7/B]neck
‘Cause you wanted respect
‘Cause you fightin’ some [F]war, baby
Well, I had to bring the [Dm7]fists out
Had to put a wall up
I don’t trust [Am]phonies, baby
You gotta tell me, what’s your [E7/B]motive, baby
‘Cause you got your [F]candy on your arm
No [Dm7]need to sugarcoat a lie
[Am]Say what you want
I [E7]needed a real bonafide [F]G
Can you promise me [Dm7]you’ll bring it all tonight
[Am]‘Cause I need you to be wise
[E7]Tell me everything that’s on your mind, c’mon
(Chorus)
Tell me what’s your [F]motive
[Dm7]What’s your motive
[Am]What’s your motive[E7/B]
So tell me, what’s your [F]motive
[Dm7]What’s your motive
[Am]What’s your motive,[E7/B] yeah, yeah, aye
