Pocketbook Songtext
von Meshell Ndegeocello

Looka here, huh
Come on, huh, yeah, come on
Come on, huh, yeah, come on

You like to have money in your pocketbook
That′s alright
Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones
And that′s alright

Your mama gotta be fine
You probably breast-fed you
'Cause you look all healthy

With your chi-chi pretty eyes
Put it on, you probably don't sit (Baby)
Uh, with the swerve in your hip
Order, "Can I get a drink?"
Yeah, yes you can
Pull the bar from your purse
Tip starts singing my shit

With the chorus first


You like to have money in your pocketbook
That′s alright
Got a lotta sense runnin′ through your bones
And that's alright
You like to be in the ′Lo
With all the major figures and
That's alright
You like to hang out, shake that thang
And that′s alright

Girl got your own thang
You know everybody high class
Mediocre, the riff-raff
Love is the root politic
Read between the paragraph
You know what you make after taxes
You like to get f-free
You been to Cuba
And you don't watch TV

You only get greedy
For the power of the P

And me now


You like to have money in your pocketbook
That′s alright
Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones
And that's alright
You like to be in the ′Lo
With all the major figures and
That′s alright
You like to hang out, shake that thang all night
And that's alright

How that feel? (How that feel?)
What you feel? (What you feel?)
I got feel (I′m tellin' you, baby)
Looka here

You like to have money in your pocketbook
That′s alright
Got a lotta sense runnin' through your bones
And that′s alright

Ooh, hey, looka here
What you got? Come on, yeah, looka here
I like the way you switch when you walk by
I do everything you know that you wanna try
And don't be ashamed
'Cause I can make you feel real good
So grab your ass, I mean that purse, ha
Hit me with that chorus first, check, uh

You like to have money in your pocketbook
That′s alright
Got a lotta sense runnin′ through your bones
And that's alright

You like to be in the ′Lo
With all the major figures and
That's alright
You like to hang out, shake that thang
And that′s alright
You like to have money in your pocketbook
That's alright
Got a lotta sense runnin′ through your bones
And that's alright

You like to be in the 'Lo
With all the major figures and
That′s alright
You like to hang out, shake that thang all night
And that′s alright

Yeah, come on, come on
Yeah, I said that's alright
Come on, uh, yeah
I said that′s alright
Woo, in the pocket, make it swing
My thing, get it

You like to have money in your pocketbook
That's alright
Got a lotta sense runnin′ through your bones
And that's alright
You like to be in the ′Lo
With all the major figures and
That's alright
You like to hang out, shake that thang all night
And that's alright
