Love was the former owner
But quiet is renting our house
It ceases my lips from speaking
But forms a sarcastic smile
Suspense now raised one of your eyebrows
You asked me if there's someone else
I replied, "yes, hell yes"

You asked if it's another man; I said (no)
You laughed and say, "Is it a woman?" I say (yes)
Surprisingly you ask me for her name

And her name is me
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that
Loving you and loving me just don't seem to work at all
So patiently
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love
And to choose between you two
Boy, you know if I have to choose, I choose me

And she told me to tell you to never to hurt me again
'Cause if you haven't heard, she's a bad chick
Even though I haven't been
Yet and still you try and test me by raising an angry hand
Put it down, put it down

I'm leaving; don't try and stop me (no)
I'm late, and she is waiting (yes)
My love for me is to much, so I can't stay

And her name is me
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that
Loving you and loving me just don't seem to work at all
So patiently
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love
And to choose between you two
Boy, you know if I have to choose, I choose me

'Cause she's actually forming a threesome
And I'm happy that I can join them
Their names are me, myself, and I

And the name is me
She loves me more than you'll ever know
I finally see that
Loving you and loving me just don't seem to work at all
So patiently
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love
And to choose between you two
Boy, you know if I have to choose, I choose me
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love

Gotta choose between you two
And you know if I have to choose, I choose me (me)
I gotta go with me
