What You Asked For Lyrics by Janelle Arthur

2014

[Verse 1:]
Gonna give you a break
I'm gonna walk right out that door
So you can celebrate
That I won't be in your way anymore
Cause if I'm really dragging you down
If I'm really all those things you say
I don't see why you stick around
When you're only driving me away
[Chorus:]
'Cause love is reckless, love is selfless, oh baby love is blind
And I ain't perfect but I'm worth it
Only if you giving me time
But if I'm a mistake it's sure worth taking
The time to throw my heart on the floor
So don't ask me to stay
When this is what you asked for
[Verse 2:]
I knew what you'd say
Let's give it one more try
Thought you could make me wa-ait
But baby you're already out of time
No more words dragging me down
No more guilt making me sta-ay
I know this ain't what love's about
And I've taken all that I can take
[Chorus:]
'Cause love is reckless, love is selfless, oh baby love is blind
And I ain't perfect but I'm worth it
Only if you giving me time
But if I'm a mistake it's sure worth taking
The time to throw my heart on the floor
Don't ask me to stay
When this is what you asked for
[Bridge:]
Brought it on yourself
Should know good and well
This a product of what you call love
I just hope you learn every girl deserves
To feel good eno-o-ough
[Chorus:]
'Cause love is reckless, love is selfless, baby love is blind
And I ain't perfect but I'm worth it
Only if you givin', givin' me time
But if I'm a mistake it's sure worth taking
The time to throw my heart on the floor
Don't ask me to sta-a-ay
When this is what you asked for
Don't ask me to sta-a-ay
When this is what you a-asked for
Oh, you asked for it
Oh, you asked for it ba-a-by
