Selfish Lyrics by Jacob Latimore

Closure

2022

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want you to wait on me
Got the world on my shoulders and it's weighin' on me
I give, they still take from me
The more money I get, the more problems that they see

[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so
Why you gotta be so selfish?
Why you gotta be so
Why you gotta be so
That ain't the way, that ain't the way
That ain't the way love's supposed to go
Don't send a text, can you pick up the phone?
Talk to me, come to me
I'll share what I did on my own

[Verse 1]
I had to apologize to my brothers
All this time off how I keep stayin' on
Lost then found myself
Everybody needs some hеlp
You might need something else
But that ain't thе way

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want you to wait on me
Got the world on my shoulders and it's weighin' on me
I give, they still take from me
The more money I get, the more problems that they see

[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so
Why you gotta be so selfish?
Why you gotta be so
Why you gotta be so
That ain't the way, that ain't the way
That ain't the way love's supposed to go
Don't send a text, can you pick up the phone?
Talk to me, come to me
I'll share what I did on my own

[Verse 2]
All I need is good vibration
Need some new sensation
You know how
Can you pray with me?
Girl, don't prey on me
Less is more
That's all I need

[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so
Why you gotta be so selfish?
Why you gotta be so
Why you gotta be so
That ain't the way, that ain't the way
That ain't the way love's supposed to go
Don't send a text, can you pick up the phone?
Talk to me, come to me
I'll share what I did on my own

[Outro]
That ain't the way, that ain't the way
That ain't the way love's supposed to go
