Selfish Lyrics

[Chorus]
Selfish
Lately, baby, you been actin' selfish
Movin' shady, tryna make me jealous
I start asking questions, you're defensive
You get defensive
'Cause, baby, you're selfish
Wonder if you're mine or someone else's
It's been some time since I felt your affection
Don't ask me why I'm leavin', I can't help it (Help it)
No, I can't help it

[Verse 1]
I was there for you
I would never ever leave or disappear on you
I would care for you
Put my heart on my sleeve, woulda took it to the end for you
Everybody lost love for you
When life got hard, lost trust for you
I was there, I ain't never switched up on you
Can't believe you did me how you did me, girl
I just always get left behind
Shoulda known every time
I woulda known truth
If I had stuck wit' you
I seen it happenin'
Fakin' the happiness
I guess I should fall outta love
[Chorus]
'Cause, baby, you're selfish
Lately, baby, you been actin' selfish (Yeah)
Movin' shady, tryna make me jealous
I start asking questions, you're defensive
You get defensive
'Cause, baby, you're selfish (Selfish)
Wonder if you're mine or someone else's
It's been some time since I felt your affection (Yeah)
Don't ask me why I'm leavin', I can't help it (Help it)
No, I can't help it

[Verse 2]
You're selfish, love talkin' about yourself
Don't care 'bout no one else
Actin' so unimpressed, ohh-oh
Act reckless, start blamin' someone else
Like you're not one to be bad, ohh
That's why I can't trust you
Don't know how I loved you
Can't believe you played me when I put no one above you
For you I did this I don't do
Let you get too comfortable
If there's one thing I wish I knew is
That you'd be, that you'd be so
[Chorus]
Selfish
Lately, baby, you been actin' selfish
Movin' shady, tryna make me jealous
I start asking questions, you're defensive
You get defensive
'Cause, baby, you're selfish (Ohh)
Wonder if you're mine or someone else's (Yeah)
It's been some time since I felt your affection (Ohh)
Don't ask me why I'm leavin', I can't help it (Ohh)
No, I can't help it ('Cause, baby)
