Ex-excuse me I ain't no groupie

You've gotta have it your way

But I don't think it's okay

So find someone else to play

Can be your groupie

Just for one night

Groupie, you can have it all night

Groupie, Groupie, Groupie, Groupie, Groupie, Groupie

Go find a beauty to be your groupie

You wanna turn me on

You wanna slap my ass

You wanna own my hand

You wanna use me

Excuse me, I ain't no groupie
