Ooh-ooh, hey, hey
Whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa
Can't live without you
Ooh-ooh, hey, hey
Whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa

How did he get the drop on me?
How did he come at you to be not with me? Yeah
Why couldn't you just rock with me?
I'm changin', I know you've been through a lot with me, yeah
I know that my ego wouldn't let you breathe
And I know that same ego never thought you'd leave
I'm not cryin', I got allergies
I be lying 'cause I really want you back with me

Flossin' and flexin' gone wrong (yeah)
Left you unattended way too long (yeah)
I was just concerned about the drip (drip)
I'd buy you nice things that your heart couldn't fit, yeah
Had too many games on the side
Now you're in another man's ride
With your feet up, gettin' love now
That should be us but now (I deserve)

If I'ma keep it real, I'ma keep it real (I deserve)
I deserve to feel the way I made you feel (I deserve)
It was never you, it was always me
I was doin' the most, my apologies (I deserve)
If I'ma keep it real, I'ma keep it real (I deserve)
I deserve to feel the way I made you feel (I deserve)
It was never you, it was always me
I was doin' the most, my apologies (baby, I deserve)

Told you I'd be home after the club
Waitin' by your phone while I'm goin' up
Way too many drinks, I was slippin'
This one here been on me all night, I'ma slip in
She didn't waste no time, took them clothes off
And before I knew it, damn, I dozed off
Pictures of a fool, laid up in a room
With a clout chaser, sealin' my doom (oh, no)

Flossin' and flexin' gone wrong (gone wrong, yeah)
Left you unattended way too long (way too long, yeah, yeah)
I was just concerned about the drip (drip)
I'd buy you nice things that your heart couldn't fit (heart couldn't fit, yeah)
Had too many games on the side (on the side)
Now you're in another man's ride (another man's ride)
With your feet up (up), gettin' love now (love now)
That should be us (us) but now (I deserve)

If I'ma keep it real, I'ma keep it real (I deserve)
I deserve to feel the way I made you feel (I deserve)
It was never you, it was always me
I was doin' the most, my apologies (I deserve)
If I'ma keep it real, I'ma keep it real (I deserve)
I deserve to feel the way I made you feel (I deserve)
It was never you, it was always me
I was doin' the most, my apologies (baby, I deserve)

But he ain't gon' take you all the places I did
He ain't got the paper for behavior like this
You gon' be in line at the club
You gon' see the coach don't recline quite enough, yeah

I see y'all doin' picnics, yeah, that's cool
He 'bout to meet your parents, that's way too soon
Look what you done chose
Did he just propose? Oh, no-no, no-no, no-no (I deserve)
Na-na, na-na, na-na (I deserve)

Oh, no he didn't come right on it (I deserve)
Then take what's mine
Oh-oh, no, take what's mine (I deserve)
Oh (I deserve), don't do this
Do this to me (I deserve)
But I know, ooh-ooh, yeah (I deserve)

If I'ma keep it real, I'ma keep it real (I deserve)
I deserve to feel the way I made you feel (I deserve)
It was never you, it was always me
I was doin' the most, my apologies (I deserve)
If I'ma keep it real, I'ma keep it real (I deserve)
I deserve to feel the way I made you feel (I deserve)
It was never you, it was always me
I was doin' the most, my apologies (baby, I deserve)
