[Verse 1]
For once why can't a man just get it right on the first try?
I don't know how many times I gotta hear this story over and over again
We be fed up then we leave, then you wanting us to come back
Play with my love like you're playing Russian roulette
Bumping your head, if you left I'd be dead
Put your finger on the trigger again

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're so selfish
Only put up a fight when I quit you ([?] about you)
As soon as I decide i’m through it, all the bullshit
When i'm single again, that's when you come running
That's when you come running

[Chorus]
‘Cause you wanna miss me when I go missing, baby
You only act right when I start acting out
You only want me when I'm gone
Won't be home when you're home alone
You only miss me
You only miss me when I'm gone
Only miss me when I go missin’

[Verse 2]
When all them boys be all up on me is when you claim you really love me
Oh, the only time you buy me presents when I don't respond to your messages
And every time that I move onto someone else to make me happy
That's when you come along, don't want nobody else to have me
Wish you'd admit it, just admit it
But I don't expect you to get it
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're so selfish
Only put up a fight when I quit you ([?] about you)
As soon as I decide i’m through it, all the bullshit
When i'm single again, that's when you come running
That's when you come running

[Chorus]
‘Cause you wanna miss me when I go missing, baby
You only act right when I start acting out
You only want me when I'm gone
Won't be home when you're home alone
You only miss me
You only miss me when I'm gone
Only miss me when I go missin’
‘Cause you wanna miss me when I go missing, baby
You only act right when I start acting out
You only want me when I'm gone
Won't be home when you're home alone
You only miss me
You only miss me when I'm gone
Only miss me when I go missin’, oh
