Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just don't understand
Why you're running from a good man, baby
Why you wanna turn your back on love
Why you've already given up
See, I know you've been hurt before
But I swear I'll give you so much more
I swear I'll never let you down
'Cause I swear it's you that I adore
And I can't help myself, babe
'Cause I think about you constantly
And my heart gets no rest over you
You, you, yeah
[Verse 2]
You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless, baby (Hopeless)
'Cause I'm hopelessly in love
You can call me unperfect, but who's perfect?
Tell me, what do I gotta do?
To prove that I'm the only one for you
(To prove that I'm the only one)
What's wrong with being selfish?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
I'll be taking up your time
Till the day I make you realise (Realise)
That for you there could be no one else
I've just gotta have you for myself (For myself)
Baby, I would take good care of you (Good care)
No matter what it is you're going through
I'll be there for you when you're in need
Baby, believe in me
'Cause if love is a crime, yeah-yeah
Then punish me, I would die for you
'Cause I don't want to live without you
Oh, what can I do? Oh
[Verse 4]
You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
And you can call me hopeless, baby (Hopeless)
'Cause I'm hopelessly in love
You can call me unperfect, but who's perfect?
Tell me, what do I gotta do?
To prove that I'm the only one for you
(To prove that I'm the only one)
[Verse 5]
Why do you keep us apart?
Why won't you give up your heart?
You know that we're meant to be together
Why do you push me away?
All that I want is to give you love
Forever and ever and ever
(Forever and ever and ever)
[Verse 6]
You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless, hopeless (Hopeless)
Because I'm hopelessly in love
You can call me unperfect, but who's perfect?
Tell me, what do I gotta do, baby?
To prove that I'm the only one for you, oh
(To prove that I'm the only one)
[Verse 7]
Selfishly I'm in love with you (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause I've searched my soul and know that it's you
(Searched my soul, baby)
Selfishly I'm in love with you (Selfishly I'm)
'Cause I've searched my soul and know that it's you
(I've searched my soul down inside)
[Verse 8]
Selfishly I'm in love with you
(I'm so in love with you)
'Cause I've searched my soul and know that it's you
To prove that I'm the only one for you
So what's wrong with being selfish, selfish, selfish?
So what's wrong with being selfish? Yeah
