[Intro]
She said, "If you want my heart, then, babe
You're gonna have to work for it"
(Work for it, work for it, work for it)

[Verse 1]
I said, "You're just my type
You're a lover, you're a fighter, you're a conversation"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo, uh)
She said, "It's crossed my mind
But in a minute, I can tell that there'll be complications"
Yeah
"But thoughts like these don't die easy

[Chorus]
So if you want my heart, then, babe
You're gonna have to work for it"
(Work for it, work for it, work for it)
Ooh, gonna make you work
"If you want my love, then, babe
I'm gonna make you hurt for it"
(Hurt for it, hurt for it, hurt for it)
Ooh, gonna make you hurt

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
