REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY

written by: Deborah Gibson
Woo-oo!
Chorus/Chant:
Reverse psychology
Doesn't work on me
It works my nerves
But I think logically
So don't rehearse what you're gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? I won't nurse it
I don't buy psyche - so why reverse it?
Verse 1:
Games are good for attention (Mmm-yeah!)
But in the end they let you down
So hold me back or let me go
But no more middle ground
(Ooo-yeah!)
Boy, you've got to play your cards right
Get on back to the basics of love
We don't need no mindless mind games
A little give and take - push and shove -
A little honesty is what I'm in need of!
CHORUS/CHANT
Verse 2:
Don't you know I've seen it all
Though I seem naive to you
(So now) Hit me with anything at all-
Just hit me with the truth - yeah!
You keep thinking one of these days you'll
push my back against the wall (against the wall)
It's too late for tricks of the trade now
I can escape anything at all - oh!
A little push and shove - give and take -
But I won't fall!
Reverse psychology
Doesn't work on me (never did, never will)
It works my nerves
But I think logically
So don't rehearse what you're gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? I won't nurse it
I don't buy psyche - so why reverse it?
Bridge:
Why wait till something better comes along?
Why not stay steady and strong? (steady and strong)
A silver lining cannot be far away (be far)
You'll get much further if you
Do what you mean and mean what you say
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do yeah!
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do
Ooooo...
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3-
Reverse psychology
Doesn't work on me
It works my nerves
But I think logically (oh so much)
So don't rehearse what you're gonna say
I like it better the spontaneous way
You got an insecurity? I won't nurse it
I don't buy(I don't buy it) psyche - so why reverse it?
CHORUS/CHANT
Jam! Jam!
I said, Jam!
Reverse psychology style
Jam
Jam (Oooo - yeah!)
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
