How this works

I love you 
I do but why should I stay when I’m not appreciated the way I appreciate you?
Your mind games turn me off
It’s funny how you think I have to deal with your disrespect 
Anything I don’t like for my life I have the right to reject 
What did you expect?
Did you expect a warm and happy me?
When all you do is bring confusion to me?
You don’t give me what I need
I’m not happy and I’m not pleased 
Expecting king treatment when all you do is give me the opposite of Queen treatment is crazy
I think about a life without you daily 
I’ll never be dumb enough to commit myself to someone who’s not committed to me 
I’d be a fool to be everything to you when you can’t do the basic things for me
Everything doesn’t work out the way you want it to 
It works out fairly 
If I can’t get the respect that I know I deserve 
Then neither can you baby
