Syleena Johnson – I Deserve More lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't deserve a man who puts me on a list
Gonna get me on your bets
Boy, come and get your check
I don't deserve a man who runs a hell of bills
And every time that fifteen hits
You don't want to pay for it

[Pre-Chorus]
So, oh, oh don't leave me on for nothing
Baby, tell me what's the deal
'Cause I don't really need you here

[Chorus]
I deserve more
(More) More than the only birth
(More) More than the way it hurts
(More) More 'cause I know my words
I deserve more than this
I deserve more
(More) More than the way you lie
(More) More than the way I cry
(More) More than the way you quit
I deserve more than this

[Verse 2]
I don't deserve a man who sneaks in in my bed
Making up two, three things
Turn around and disappear
I don't deserve a man who sells me hells of dreams
Promise me the whole damn world
But never give me anything

[Pre-Chorus]
Love, don't leave me on for nothing
Baby, tell me what's the deal
'Cause I don't really need you here

[Chorus]
I deserve more
(More) More than the only birth
(More) More than the way it hurts
(More) More 'cause I know my words
I deserve more than this
I deserve more
(More) More than the way you lie
(More) More than the way I cry
(More) More than the way you quit
I deserve more than this

[Bridge]
And if you ain't gonna tryna change
You can get up off my face
'Cause I'm not how you tryna raise
Nobody's here, I ain't your mama, baby
I deserve the finest things
And love and joy
It's the simple things that make the big things matter
And you're gonna have to do better

[Chorus]
'Cause I deserve more
(More) More than the only birth
(More) More than the way it hurts
(More) More 'cause I know my words
I deserve more than this
I deserve more
(More) More than the way you lie
(More) More than the way I cry
(More) More than the way you quit
I deserve more than this

[Outro]
I deserve to be treated like a queen
I don't deserve, no, for a man to put his hands on me
I deserve to make the choice with my body
I deserve to be treated like a woman
I deserve
