Ego (feat. Ceci Leon) [Acoustic]

Ego
I'm itching for you with the stroke
Appease my ego
That's the reason I keep you around
Inflate my ego
I subconsciously know that this makes me a bad person
But I guess that it's worth it
Coping
You stuck around and coddled me when I was moping
You said I'm what you want but why did you think I was joking
When I wanted to mess around?
Needed to feel like you wanted my pout

Why?
Why'd you take interest in me?
What separated me from other bad seeds?
Why'd you choose me as your bad habit?
When I'm not around
Baby, you know you can't stand it
Why?
Why'd you stick around through the filth?
Baby, tell me my looks, they kill
Tell me that it's more than just a thrill
When I'm not around
Baby, you know you can't stand it

Needy
You were so needy
Thank God
'Cuz it made me feel needed
Tried to show you what's under my skirt
Denim and pleated
I wanted to feel other hands do the feasting
And make you feel treated

You almost made me fall in love
But almost don't compare to the real thing
You know what you got yourself into
When you learned what I've been through
Could never be for you
Yeah
Oh, I could never be for you
Oh, I could never be for you

Why?
Why'd you take interest in me?
What separated me from other bad seeds?
Why'd you choose me as your bad habit?
When I'm not around
Baby, you know you can't stand it
Why?
Why'd you stick around through the filth?
Baby, tell me my looks, they kill
Tell me that it's more than just a thrill
When I'm not around
Baby, you know you can't stand it

Ooh, yeah
I get that you were played by me
I really cared for you, so ardently
This was all about dynamics of power
I'm sorry I used you to finally get power
Finally felt like I had someone at my mercy
I know that I hurt you
And you know that you hurt me too
The chase itself made it all feel worth it
Out my comfort zone
For the meantime, it was perfect
For the meantime, it was perfect
For the meantime, it was perfect

Why?
Why'd you take interest in me?
What separated me from other bad seeds?
Why'd you choose me as your bad habit?
When I'm not around
Baby, you know you can't stand it
Why?
Why'd you stick around through the filth?
Baby, tell me my looks, they kill
Tell me that it's more than just a thrill
When I'm not around
Baby, you know you can't stand it

Oh, baby, you know you can't stand it
Yo, baby, you know you can't stand it, yuh
Baby, you know you can't stand it
Baby, you know you can't stand it
