Boy drank all that magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets

Lil' Kim:
Yeah, yeah, ah
They come through with the money and the garter belts
Let 'em know we 'bout that cake, straight out the gate
We independent women, some mistake us for whores
I'm saying, ‘Why spend mine when I can spend yours?’
Disagree? Well that's you and I'm sorry
I'm gonna keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wear high-heeled shoes, getting love from the dudes
Four bad-ass chicks from the Moulin Rouge

All:
Hey sisters, soul sisters
Betta get that dough sisters

Lil' Kim:
We drink wine with diamonds in the glass
By the case, the meaning of expensive taste
We wanna getcha getcha ya ya (come on)
Mocha chocolatta (what?)

One more time, come on now

All:
Marmalade (ooh)
Lady Marmalade (ooh yeah)
Marmalade (no ohh)

Christina:
Hey, hey, hey!
Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth, oh
Color of cafe au lait, alright
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until he cried

All: More, more...

Christina: More!

Pink: Now he's back home doing nine to five

Christina: Nine to five!

Mya: Living a gray flannel life

Christina:
But when he turns over to sleep, memories creep

All: More, more...

Christina: More!

Getcha getcha ya ya da da (da da)
Getcha getcha ya ya here (ohh)
Mocha chocolatta ya ya (ooh)
