Singer Jennifer Chung put a female spin on J Cole’s “Work Out”. Her perspective provides an alternate point of view to girls who give it up too easy. She makes a case for a committed relationship rather than one that’s not. Why be a side dish lover when you can be the dedicated main course? Jennifer Chung did a quick turnaround on this one. She re-wrote the lyrics a couple of hours.
Look for Jennifer Chung to release her album “4 Years & Counting ” on September 10, 2011.

Lyrics to Work Out (Girl’s perspective) by Jennifer Chung
We got a good thing.
You tell me that you like how it is.
So is that a good thing?
‘Cause you say that you can’t be my man.
I know what’s on your brain,
You’re hoping that I will understand.
To be single but keep me, is that all a part of your plan?
Won’t have that.
Hear me say “bye” after “no.”
Would rather be the girl flying solo.
Then to be the fool to follow your dead-ending road.
‘Cause it’s gotta work out for me.
Work out for me.
Hear me say “bye” after “no.”
Would rather be the girl flying solo.
Then to be the fool to follow your dead-ending road.
‘Cause it’s gotta work out for me.
Work out for me.
He likes em’ girls with the big ol’ fangs.
Who eats up every word, every thing he says.
I’m just sick & tired of being misled.
I thought it was a go, but all I see is red.
Would you look at that.
He came back for me.
It’s because he couldn’t get it so easily.
It’s not the game, but come on, think logically.
Who is gonna respect, if I don’t respect me?
I’ve heard it all.
The same old thing.
“It isn’t you, it’s me,
You get it, right babe?
I’m not the type to commit.”
Well, isn’t that a shame?
I’ve heard it all.
The same old thing.
So is life, take a chance, roll a dice.
You get tricked into believing something bad is right.
Don’t over think.
Maybe next time.
Who’s losing sleep in the night?
We got a good thing.
You tell me that you like how it is.
So is that a good thing?
‘Cause you say that you can’t be my man.
I know what’s on your brain,
You’re hoping that I will understand.
To be single but keep me, is that all a part of your plan?
Won’t have that.
Hear me say “bye” after “no.”
Would rather be the girl flying solo.
Then to be the fool to follow your dead-ending road.
‘Cause it’s gotta work out for me.
Work out for me.
Hear me say “bye” after “no.”
Would rather be the girl flying solo.
Then to be the fool to follow your dead-ending road.
‘Cause it’s gotta work out for me.
Work out for me.
Here you go again, confusing me.
What you want, you aren’t sure?
Exactly.
I’ve got a heart with a lot o’ love to give.
To waste it on someone who doesn’t believe,
Would be a sin.
What? What, you wanna stay “friends?”
Friends who call each other every night before the night ends?
Every time you want it to, the rules bend.
There is something wrong with all the messages that you send.
Cold world.
Real cold world.
I don’t need you to hold me & call me your girl.
Know what’s on my mind.
I’m fighting for what’s right tonight. Tonight. Tonight.
Move slow.
You wanna live fast.
Grow up, be a man, there’s a thing called class.
Life is a test so before the night pass, get right. Get right.
We got a good thing.
You tell me that you like how it is.
So is that a good thing?
‘Cause you say that you can’t be my man.
I know what’s on your brain,
You’re hoping that I will understand.
To be single but keep me, is that all a part of your plan?
Won’t have that.
Straight up now tell me do you really wanna love me forever?
Oh, oh, oh.
Or is it just a hit and run?
Straight up I’ll tell you I refuse to be your side dish lover.
Oh, oh, oh.
I’m not just here for you to have fun.
Straight up now tell me do you really wanna love me forever?
Oh, oh, oh.
Or is it just a hit and run?
Straight up I’ll tell you I refuse to be your side dish lover.
Oh, oh, oh.
I’m not just here for you to have fun.
I’m done.
