Lyrics of I Won’t Allow It by Mariah Carey
[Verse 1]
Whatcha Gonna Do When Your Mind Is Blown
And Your Heart Explodes And Your Body’s Cold
Whatcha Gonna Do
Whatcha Gonna Do
Whatcha Gonna Do When We Go Our Separate Ways
And You See Me Outside With My Billion Dollar Bae
Please Enjoy Your Chick-fil-a
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanted The Fame
Used My Name
Bet You Thought You Could Do That
I Won’t Entertain All Your Narcissistic Ways
[Chorus]
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
[Verse 2]
Whatcha Gonna Do When You’re Feeling’ Low
Cause I Don’t Love You Any More
No More (That Part)
Whatcha Gonna Do When You Lyin’ On The Floor
Changed My Number Awhile Ago
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanted The Fame
Used My Name
Bet You Thought You Could Do That
I Won’t Entertain All Your Narcissistic Ways
[Chorus]
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
[Verse 3]
See You Walkin’ By With Your Your Dirty Mustache
And Your Patches On Your Pants
And You Kind Of Showed Your Ass
And I’m Still The Same (I’m Still The Same)
So Watcha Gonna Do When You Face All Broke
And You’re Hot Inside Lost Your Pride
Can’t Obtain Any Accutane
Should Have Been More Proactive
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanted The Fame
Used My Name
Bet You Thought You Could Do That
I Won’t Entertain All Your Narcissistic Ways
[Chorus]
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
I Won’t Allow It
[Bridge]
Watchu Gonna Do?
Tell Me
Watch Gonna Do?
Can’t Obtain Any Accutane
Should Have Been More Proactive
[Outro]
I Forgot To Tell You That Part
I Forgot To Tell You That Part
I Forgot To Tell You That Part
That Part, That Part
I Forgot To Tell You That Part
I Forgot To Tell You That Part
I Forgot To Tell You That Part
Ohhhhhh
