[Intro]

Yeah

Oh-oh

Yeah

Just wanna take my time with this

Take my time with this

And let it breathe

Oh

[Verse 1]

How did it get wrong?

Why do you talk to me like you're crazy?

That didn't take long

Alter ego has always been waitin'

Thought we had a fire

Thought we had a good thing goin'

Thought we had a ride

You're takin' me places I'm not knowin'

[Pre-Chorus]

I just wanna be seen for the man I can be

I'm not a machine, I'm just a human being

I should probably be treated like an expensive thing

[Hook]

'Cause I know my value

Even if you don't see it

I'm worth more than what you're offerin' me

And I won't be defeated

I know my value

Trust and believe it

I got more than what you could give to me

So I really don't need it

Oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Look how I treat you

I just ask you return the favor

I never cheat you

Every minute with you, I savor

Thought you felt the same

Thought you saw the king of your kingdom

Pictures in a frame

Of us together, now I want freedom

[Pre-Chorus]

I just wanna be seen for the man I can be

I'm not a machine, I'm just a human being

I should probably be treated like an expensive thing

[Hook]

'Cause I know my value

Even if you don't see it

I'm worth more than what you're offerin' me

And I won't be defeated

I know my value

Trust and believe it

I got more than what you could give to me

So I really don't need it

Oh-oh-whoa

[Verse 3]

I'm 'bout to do a new appraisal

Change the packagin' and change the labels

I'm worth more now

Yeah-yeah

You caught me when the price was stable

Now their offer's on the table

I'ma be out

[Hook]

'Cause I know my value

Even if you don't see it

I'm worth more than what you're offerin' me

And I won't be defeated

I know my value

Trust and believe it

I got more than what you could give to me

So I really don't need it

[Outro]

'Cause I know my value, yeah

Know my value, yeah
