Verse 1

C           F                D
  Something don't feel right
           G                       D               F
Because it ain't right, especially comin' up after midnight
C              F      D
  I smell your secret
            G               D              F
And I'm not too perfect, to ever feel this worthless
    C                         F                  D
How did it come down to this, going through your call list
        G                             D            F
I don't wanna lose my pride, but I'ma fuck me up a bitch
C                               F              D
  Know that I kept it sexy, and know I kept it fun
        G                                 D           F
There's something that I'm missing, maybe my head for one


Pre-Chorus

C                       F          D
  What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy?
G                 D   F
Jealous or crazy?
C               F               D
  Or like being walked all over lately?
G                           D         F
Walked all over lately, I'd rather be crazy


C                     F               D
  Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
G                       D               F
  Slow down, they don't love you like I love you
C                     F               D
  Back up, they don't love you like I love you
G                       D               F
  Step down, they don't love you like I love you
C                          F          D
  Can't you see there's no other man above you?

  What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you
C                     F               D
  Hold up, they don't love you like I love you
G                       D               F
  Slow down, they don't love you like I love you

Verse 2

      C                             F            D
Let's imagine for a moment that you never made a name for your-
 G                                     D            F
-self or mastered wealth, they had you labeled as a king
      C                                     F              D
Never made it out the cage, still out there movin' in them streets
      G                            D               F
Never had the baddest woman in the game up in your sheets
C               F       D
  Would they be down to ride, no
G              D              F
  They used to hide from you, lie to you
C                        F             D
  But y'all know we were made for each other
     G
So I find you and hold you down

Me sing, sing

G                     D    F
Good love go to waste, I always keep the
C         N.C.

I hop up out the bed and get my swag on

What's up, what's up, what's up
