[Verse 1]
For once, why can't a man just get it right on the first try?
I don't know how many times we gotta hear the story over and over again
We be fed up, then we leave, then you'll be wanting us to come back
Playing with my— like you playing Russian Roulette (Playing with my—)
Gun to your head, if I left, you'd be dead
But your finger's on the trigger again (Trigger again)

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

[Chorus]
'Cause you only miss me when I go missing, baby (Baby)
And you only act right when I start acting out (Out)
And you only want me when I'm gone
Want me home when you're home alone
'Cause you only miss me-me
Only miss me when I'm gone
Only miss me when I go missing, woah-woah

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

[Chorus]
'Cause you only miss me when I go missing, baby (Baby)
And you only act right when I start acting out (Start acting out, acting out)
And you only want me when I'm gone (Want me when I'm gone)
Want me home when you're home alone (Home alone-alone)
'Cause you only miss me-me (When I'm gone)
'Cause you only miss me when I go missing, baby (When I go missing, yeah)
And you only act right when I start acting out (Start acting out, acting out)
And you only want me when I'm gone (Want me when I'm gone)
Want me home when you're home alone (Home alone-alone)
'Cause you only miss me-me
Only miss me when I'm gone

[Outro]
Only miss me when I go missing
No-oh, oh
