Selfish Lyrics by Emeryld

Young

2019

[Verse 1]
Time and time again
I been convincing them
I don't need what they think i do, mmm
I know it's weird to think of me as somebody
Who needs something other than you
Baby, it's true

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't afford to give you what I got now
This energy from loving you is bring me down
And I know, it's the same, it's the same, it's the same every time
It's time I tell you what you do wrong
I got my own shit baby, focus yeah I'm turning me on
You should know, you should know, you should know

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm selfish
And you know that I wish i could help it
But your touch was seducing enough
But its the same as everybody else
This is something I already felt
And I'm sorry
That I can't give you more no I'm hardly
Saving space for the people I like
You know I compromise, But I don't compromise
Cause I'm selfish, Yeah I'm selfish, no

[Verse 2]
Oh you could find some piece of mine
Yeah if you try but I'll know that's not really your style
So I am mind changing my just official vibe
When I got my own thing going on, why it's so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't afford to give you what I got now
This energy from loving you is bring me down
And I know, it's the same, it's the same, yeah it's the same every day
It's time I tell you what you do wrong
I got my own shit baby, focus yeah I'm turning me on
You should know
You should know, you should know, you should know

[Chrous]
Baby, I'm selfish
And you know that I wish I could help it
But your touch was seducing enough
But its the same as everybody else
This is something I've already felt
And I'm sorry
That I can't give you more no I'm hardly
Saving space for the people I like
You know I compromise, But I don't compromise
Cause I'm selfish, Yeah I'm selfish, no

[Outro]
I can't help, I can't help, I can't help it, yeah
