  • Radiator says 95
    But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night
    Here in this motel there's no tellin me nothin'
    I come here five nights a week
    To clean the toilets and change these sheets
    My name's Maggie Duran
    Baby ain't that somethin'

    [Chorus]
    If you want it
    Come and get it
    If you want it
    Come and get it
    You'll understand
    You take me as I am

    I know these corners I know these streets
    Curbside prophets they're yellin' at me
    He can save my soul for a drink and a dollar
    They keep yelling about my tattoos
    We all live with the scars we choose
    They might hurt like hell
    But they all make us stronger

    [Chorus]

    Slow to trust but I'm quick to love
    Push too hard and I give too much
    I ain't sayin' I'm perfect
    But I promise I'm worth it
    Now I'm standing here in front of you
    Tell me boy what you gonna do
    My name's Maggie Duran
    Baby ain't that somethin'

    [Chorus:Repeat x2] Writer/s: JEFFREY H COHEN, JENNIFER NETTLES, KRISTIAN BUSH
