I Love Me Lyrics

[Intro]
Haha, yeah
You definitely got me fucked up
Mmm, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
When you say, "Jump," I don't say, "How high?" (No)
I don't give a fuck who you are, I'm me (Yeah)
If you wanna run, I'ma say, "'Bout time" (See ya)
I don't give a fuck who you are, I'm me (Yeah)
And I love me (Yes)
Way too much to put someone above me now (Come on), uh
And I love me (Yeah)
Way too much to put someone above me now, yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Pretty women gettin' curved, they always takin' it brutal
They been curvin' since the jump, so this not what they used to
I been well aware of me and all the blessings I offer
I been like this from the jump, I tell this girl that I'm off her, 'cause

[Refrain]
You got me fucked up (Yeah)
You got me fucked up (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
You must think I got no self-worth and I'll let you control me
But you trippin' if you think that I'm not cool by my lonely
Yeah, I love me way too much to ever tolerate games
I barely know you and you think that I owe you an exchange, girl

[Refrain]
You got me fucked up
You got me fucked up

[Chorus]
When you say, "Jump," I don't say, "How high?" (No)
I don't give a fuck who you are, I'm me (Yeah)
If you wanna run, I'ma say, "'Bout time" (See ya)
I don't give a fuck who you are, I'm me (Yeah)
And I love me (Yes)
Way too much to put someone above me now (Come on), uh
And I love me (Yeah)
Way too much to put someone above me now, yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 3]
I can tell you been a ho before, uh
I can tell you never ever, ever, ever been told, "No" before, uh
First time for everything, ain't no grind, then ain't no ring
Ain't no way I'll be complacent out here chasin' some lil' fling
This is work I had to put in, fuck your looks
If that's all you got to offer, then I'm sorry, girl, I'm good
The audacity for you to keep harassin' me
When you ain't got no substance
I don't wanna link up, actually
Attackin' me 'cause you can't get your way
You been textin' every day
Talkin' 'bout, "You know how many fuckin' men I turn away?"
Yeah, okay, that might work if I didn't know my worth
If I put the pussy on a pedestal and went berserk
I don't care 'bout your status, about the men you could have
It's just disrespectful if you think because of that, I'll bend backwards
You got me fucked up
You need someone without a spine
You got me fucked up
This is my, "Fuck you and goodbye," yeah
[Chorus]
When you say, "Jump," I don't say, "How high?" (No)
I don't give a fuck who you are, I'm me (Yeah)
If you wanna run, I'ma say, "'Bout time" (See ya)
I don't give a fuck who you are, I'm me (Yeah)
And I love me (Yes)
Way too much to put someone above me now (Come on), uh
And I love me (Yeah)
Way too much to put someone above me now, yeah

Never let someone manipulate you into thinking you gotta [fuck with] them based off their own delusional entitlement. Love yourself.
