Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry for all the shit that I did
I was super creepin', all your girls should've known (Should've known)
Now I'm havin' flashbacks when I had that
Thinkin' 'bout where it could've gone
So can we take it back to the beginnin'?
I know you can't forget, but am I forgiven?
And even though you called it quits, I wasn't finished
[PreChorus]
I'm ready to take you serious
Ain't playin' no games, I'm done
I'll treat you second to none
Make you my number one
[Chorus]
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it
It won't end if we don't let it
[Verse 2]
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it
It don't gotta end if we don't let it
[PostChorus]
Baby, pick up your phone, yeah
Oh, why you got me over here alone? Yeah (Alone)
[Verse 3]
How you only gonna give me one try?
Love only happens like that sometimes
My heart beat for you like a drumline, babe
Don't let our love run dry
[PreChorus]
I'm ready to take you serious
Ain't playin' no games, I'm done (Yeah)
I'll treat you second to none
Make you my number one (But why?)
[Chorus]
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it (Oh)
It won't end if we don't let it (Oh)
[Verse 4]
But why you gotta be so petty? (Why you gotta be?)
Might have told a couple lies too many (Oh)
And when you done playin', I'ma come get it (Oh)
It don't gotta end if we don't let it (Oh)
[PostChorus]
Baby, pick up your phone (Yeah), yeah
Oh, why you got me over here alone? Yeah
[Bridge]
How you put everything on me when you lie?
I don't point fingers, babe, I choose sides
Petty fightin', breakups
Then you blowin' my phone up
With your petty lies, bitch, grow up
Stop all the fightin', give up
Girl, I don't lie about who I love
Baby, I'm stuck
[Chorus]
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it (Oh)
It won't end if we don't let it (Oh)
[Verse 5]
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies too many (Yeah)
When you done playin', I'ma come get it (Oh)
It don't gotta end if we don't let it
[PostChorus]
Baby, pick up your phone, yeah
Oh, why you got me over here alone? Yeah (Alone)
