The Worst
Jhené Aiko Lyrics

Tell me whatcha say now?
Asking for clarification on something said or done

Come again?
Asking for clarification on something said or done

If you cannot stay down, Then you do not have to pretend, Like there is no way out, I shoulda never let you in, 'Cause you got me face down
If you can't commit, don't fake it. I shouldn't have let you in because now you have me vulnerable and helpless

And don't take this personal, But you're the worst, You know what you've done to me, And although it hurts I know, I just can't keep runnin' away
You're the worst, but it's not solely a personal attack. You hurt me, but I keep running from the issue

I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, But I want you, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, But I love you
I don't need you in my life, but I want you anyway. I don't mean to love you, but I do

You said that you would come again, You said that we would remain friends but, You know that I do not depend on, Nothing or no one, So why would you show up, So uninvited then, Just change my mind like that, Please don't take this personal
You said we would stay friends, but I don't depend on anyone. So why show up unannounced and change my mind like that? Don't take this personal, but it's not what I want

But you ain't shit, And you weren't special, 'Til I made you so, You better act like you know, That I been through worse than you, I just can't keep runnin' away
You're not worth anything, and you weren't special until I made you so. You need to realize I've been through worse and I can't keep running from this

Everybody's like "He's no item", "Please don't like 'em", "He don't wife 'em", "He one nights 'em", I never listen, no, I shoulda figured though, All that shit you was spittin', So unoriginal, But it was you, So I was with it
Everyone warned me that you were no good, but I didn't listen. It was all just typical talk, but I fell for you anyway

And tell you the truth, Wish we never did it, Cause I usually do, Stick to the business, But you came out the blue, And then you just flipped it, Goddamn baby, My mind's blown
Honestly, I regret being with you. I usually keep things professional, but you were a surprise and turned everything upside-down. It's just mind-boggling

Be forgettin', You live in a different time zone, Think I know what this is, It's just the time's wrong, Yeah, I know what you did, But, baby, I'm grown
I forget that we're in different time zones but I know what this is - it's just not the right timing. I know what you did, but I'm grown and can handle it

And my love is patient, And kind, and shit, This is real we can build, Through different types of shit, If you was really the realest, Wouldn't be fightin' it, I think your pride is just
My love is patient and kind, and we can go through anything together. If you were really authentic, we wouldn't be fighting. I think it's just pride getting in the way

Funny how everything changed, Once you got all that you wanted, Nothing was ever the same
It's ironic how things changed once you got what you wanted. Nothing was ever the same

But I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I still want you (oh), I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, I don't mean to, But I, but I love you
I still don't need you in my life, but I want you. I don't mean to, but I still love you anyway
