Selfish


Too many women out here need you Do you ever make time for all of them? Is it on your agenda? Better yet, does it matter that I need you I mean, I am your woman I am your partner I should be your best friend That's how all the perfect love stories go Why not be in love with your friend? I guess certain people are special in certain categories If so, what category am I in? I wanna know my position So I can position my heart accordingly Cause your love is good and all But not good enough that I wanna share You should need me..and only me as your special lady I shouldn't have to tell you this I don't wanna tell you this That's why I beat myself up in silence For excepting the rest of them (Names) Like how many do you need? How many is worth holding onto? Or are you stuck being Captain-Save-a-Hoe? You better learn to love me right You know I'll leave you Cause I've played backseat, front seat, side piece, and underdog And I've learned That man will only treat you as you allow So I allow you to treat me as your queen, your wife, your companion But nothing less It's me and only me
