Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and released her self-titled debut studio album, Mariah Carey. The album went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records, including Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993) and Merry Christmas (1994), established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995), made music history when the second single, "One Sweet Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest running number one song in US chart history. During the recording of the album Carey began to deviate from her pop background, and slowly traversed into R&B and Hip-hop. After her separation from Mottola, this musical change was evident with the release of Butterfly (1997).
Who do you think I am I don't play these
games
Not goin' out like that let me explain
Tryin' to save myself don't pressure me
My spirit leads me to celibacy
I have to just be real and I know it's fair
I wanna please my God and I don't care
You can just leave now but if you stay
There's gonna be no other way
If this is love then you can take it
If this is not then don't ya fake it
My body is the Lord's temple
Don't mess with me God's property
It ain't that bad if you try to see
His perfect will is all that I need
My body is the Lord's temple
Don't mess with me God's property
What part of no don't you seem to
understand
I just can't move that fast it's not His plan
I'm not ashamed to do what I know is right
His yoke is easy and His burden's light
Momma sat me down and she would say
Just trust in the Lord and Him only
No disrespect but I can't be with you
And try to serve the Lord in honesty too
My body is God's body
No it ain't your property
Jesus died on Calvary
Just to save someone like me
Who am I to betray His love
Tell ya what I'm gonna do
