Selfish
Fantasia Barrino/Missy Elliott Lyrics

Boy, stop playin' tricks on me
Stop deceiving me and playing games in our relationship

Cause when I think I found the right one
Each time I feel like I've met the right person

I end up lonely
It always ends up with me being alone

So don't judge me
Don't make assumptions about me without getting to know me

Before you get to know me
Take the time to understand me first

I don't wanna share your love
I don't want anyone else to have your love but me

Make me your one and only
I want to be the only person in your life

My heart
My emotional center and feelings

Can't take another heart break
I can't handle being heartbroken anymore

Because every time I fall deep in love
Whenever I get emotionally invested in a relationship

Somebody go and hurt me
Someone always ends up causing me emotional pain

So this time
This time around

There will be no mistakes
I won't allow any mistakes to happen in our relationship

If you allow me to prove myself
If you let me demonstrate my worth to you

Boy, I can make you happy
I can bring happiness to your life, if given the chance

I'm stingy with my man
I'm possessive of my partner

I'm stingy with the goodies
I don't want to share the affection and affectionate gestures we have together

If you think my style fly
If you're impressed by the way I present myself

Then check the way I boogie
Watch me dance and move my body

This one tough cookie
I'm strong and resilient

With shell toes and hoddies
Wearing comfortable and fashionable clothing

Will approach any chic that walk up to my man
I won't let any woman come between us, and I won't hesitate to make that clear

Never understand my man, be my man
You'll never fully understand our relationship, but you can be with me if you want

I shut the game down
I make sure no one can interfere with our relationship

This dude is mine now
I have claimed my partner and he belongs to me now

Bring it to the ring
I'm ready to fight for my man

K.O. in one round
I'll win easily and quickly

Miss Demeanor and Fantasia with the break down, uh
Missy Elliott and Fantasia will break down the song together

I want to be the only one (i want to be)
I desire to be the sole focus of my partner's attention

The only one that you run to (suga, suga, suga, suga, suga)
I want to be the only person my partner turns to for love and affection

I sure don't need nobody else (baby i don't need)
I don't need anyone else in my life but my partner

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
My partner is the one for me in every way

I wanna be (yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah)
I want to be his everything

I want to be the only one (oh baby)
I want to be his one and only love

The only one that you run to (only one that you could run to)
I want to be the first and only person he goes to when he needs love

I sure don't need nobody else (I don't need nobody else)
My partner is all I really need in my life

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
My partner is the only one for me

I wanna be(oh,yeah)
I desire to be everything to my partner

I don't want nobody else
I don't want anyone else to be with my partner

You can call me selfish if you want to
Some may view my possessiveness as selfishness, but I believe it's necessary for my relationship

I don't need nobody else
I don't need anyone else in my life except my partner

I wanna be the only one you run to
I want to be the only person he seeks for love and affection
