Selfish Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your hand in mine
I know you always see me through
Your hands in mine
When I ain't been that good to you

[Pre-Chorus]
I think I talk too much about my own life
I wanna hear about yours, ya
I wanna hear about yours
You give me the world, I just let you in mine
But I should give you more, ya
I should give you more

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm selfish
I should think of myself less
If I don't want somebody else then
Gotta focus on you
Baby, I'm selfish
Wanna act like myself less
Don't want nobody else, let's
Just focus on you, you

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna try telling you how perfect you are
Put in the time
I know you've been working too hard
[Pre-Chorus]
I think I talk to much about my own life
I wanna hear about yours, ya
I wanna hear about yours
You give me the world, I just let you in mine
But I should give you more, ya
I should give you more

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm selfish (Selfish)
I should think of myself less (Self less)
If I don't want somebody else then
Gotta focus on you
Baby, I'm selfish
Wanna act like myself less
Don't want nobody else, let's
Just focus on you, you

(Selfish, selfish)
(Don't want nobody else, let's focus on you)

[Bridge]
I want you all of the time
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish, selfish)
I just want you to be mine
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish)
[Chorus]
Baby, I'm selfish
I should think of myself less
If I don't want somebody else then
Gotta focus on you
Baby, I'm selfish
Wanna act like myself less
Don't want nobody else, let's
Just focus on you

I want you all of the time
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish, selfish)
I just want you to be mine
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish)

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 [?]
