Selfish Jean

Cheers

Thanks for everything

You hung me up by my heart

You're just so selfish Jean

Yes, you are

Hey, you

Threw it all away

By holdin' everythin' in

Hey, Jean, don't rock the boat

When you can't swim

With a perfect understanding of the finer things in life

A quite alarmin' knack of knowin' when to twist the knife

Oh

Selfish Jean

Here's to you

Who had everything

Left it out on the shelf

There's no one else to blame

Except yourself

With a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm

You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm

Oh

Selfish Jean

Well, I'm standin' on my own

And this house is not a home

It's so sad to see you go

Things are high and things are low

And it's good to know, you know

If you got nowhere to go

Well, you could spend the night with me

There will be no guarantee that I'll be here

In the morning

Or any time that you call

I hear you snorin', Jean

Through the wall

So, hey

Here's to everything

To peace and love in our time

Ah, Jean, the slate is clean

I guess we're fine

Well, I don't expect a miracle

Not askin' you to change

If you can't see me happy

Well, just look the other way

Oh

Selfish Jean

Oh

Selfish Jean

Jean
