Love Is Selfish

One, two, three, four

Love is such a selfish thing

It's always crying me-me-me

And it's always trying to mess up all my plans

And I work real hard to make you understand

Yeah, I try my best to help you understand

I've been trying over the years

To try and overcome these fears

But nothing I come up with proves I can

And I work real hard to make you understand

Yeah, I try my best to help you understand

I'm on a train but I can not rest upon it

I'm on a train but it won't stay on the rails

And I've got a sailboat with her name painted on it

But I don't know how to sail

Someone smarter than me and you might

End up solving a clue or two

But could they make it happen with their hands?

Could they build it up from nothing with their hands?

I could lose my mind just trying to understand

Love is such a selfish thing

It's always crying me, me, me

And it's always trying to mess up all my plans

And I work real hard to make you understand

And I'll try my best to help you understand
