I had an idea in my head
I pictured this going differently
I meant every word that I said
You should have spent more time listening
All the things that I put a hold on
All for you to hit me with a "hold on"
What makes you so ready right now
After I waited on you for so long
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to...

Ever since I left the city, you, you, you
You and me, we just don't get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
Going places where you don't belong
Ever since I left the city, you
You got exactly what you asked for
Running out of pages in your passport
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before

I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing

Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to...

You got your trophies
I know how you like to show them off
And shine them up and line them up
No, I'm not your trophy baby, I won't let you show me off
And shine me up or line me up, no!

You got your trophies
I know how you like to show them off
And shine them up and line them up
No, I'm not your trophy baby, I won't let you show me off
And shine me up or line me up

I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing

Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, is it just for show?
Why you wanna be my love, my love, my love, love
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to
Why you want
Why you want to...
