Jewelry

Nivea

I know that I'm a diamond 
But you don't gotta treat me like one 
I know I shine like platinum 
And I'm about as real as they come 
And I don't like the way you're doing me 
You wear me then you put me away 
Can't come out until you want me 
And I can't let you keep it this way 

I don't like the way that you be shining me 
You be treating me like jewelry 
Then you turn around and you stash me 
You be treating me like jewelry 

I don't like the way that you be shining me 
You be treating me like jewelry 
Then you turn around and you stash me 
You be treating me like jewelry 

This has become a problem 
You watch me like you're security 
You place me under lock and key 
Like someone's gonna run away with me 
You keep the same old stories 
You say that you're protecting me 
But you only worry how long before you lose me 

I don't like the way that you be shining me 
You be treating me like jewelry 
Then you turn around and you stash me 
You be treating me like jewelry 

I don't like the way that you be shining me 
You be treating me like jewelry 
Then you turn around and you stash me 
You be treating me like jewelry 

You make me feel like I'm your jewelry 
I'm not your jewelry, don't put me on display 
You make me feel like I'm your property 
Why don't you show me some respect 

So now make your decision 
Do you think that you could untie my hands 
You know that you'd be stressing 
If you were no longer my man 
And there's no combination 
I can leave you anytime that I choose 
So if you don't believe me 
I guess you will just look like a fool 

I don't like the way that you be shining me 
You be treating me like jewelry 
Then you turn around and you stash me 
You be treating me like jewelry 

I don't like the way that you be shining me 
You be treating me like jewelry 
Then you turn around and you stash me 
You be treating me like jewelry 

You make me feel like I'm your jewelry 
You make me feel like I'm your jewelry
