Why I Still Love You Lyrics

[Intro]
This is a Missy Elliott exclusive

[Verse 1]
I keep comin' back to you
And I ask myself why
Hey, guess I love that nigga too much
Just don't waste up my time
Mm, I go way out my way
Making you satisfied

But it don't matter, boy, how hard I try
You don't care how I be feelin' inside
You gon' make me tell you, "Kiss my ass goodbye"

[Chorus]
Why the hell I still love you?
Why the hell I still love you, baby?
I feel like I can't trust you
And I feel I can't trust you, no, no
Cheating on me, why must you?
Hey, 'cause you do me wrong and you don't do me right (Hey)
I'll fight you and your chick on sight (Hey)
Don't play with me 'cause baby, I'm 'bout that life

[Verse 2]
Boy, you know I get jealous
And I don't like to share
Hey, I love you so much
'Til I'm losin' myself
I done tried and I tried (Ohh)
I don't know what to do
You walkin' 'round, got the girls thinkin' you cute (Hey)
I'ma do me, nigga, you can go and do you (Hey)
Better not play me 'cause you gon' get the boot
[Chorus]
Why the hell I still love you?
Why the hell I still love you, love you, baby?
I feel like I can not trust you
And I feel I can't trust you, can't trust you, no
Cheating on me, why must you? It don't matter how I
It don't matter, baby, how hard I try (Hey)
You don't care how I be feelin' inside (Hey)
You gon' realize when I find me a new guy

[Outro]
You can go 'head, I'm gon' be alright
Pay my own bills, I'm gon' be alright
All by myself, I'm gon' be alright
I don't need you, I'm gon' be alright
Stay where you at, I'm gon' be alright
Don't try to come back, I'm gon' be alright
Be on your way, I'm gon' be alright
Stay out my face, I'm gon' be alright

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
