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 can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless (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
What's wrong with being selfish?

I'll be taking up your time
Until the day I make you realize
That for your there could be no one else
I just gotta have you for myself
Baby I would take good care of you
No matter what it is you're going through
I'll be there for you when you're in need
Baby believe in me
If love was a crime
Then punish me
I would die for you
Cause I don't want to live without you
Oh what can I do?

You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless (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

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 and ever

You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless (hopeless)
Because 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

Selfishly I'm in love with you
Cause I've searched my soul
and know that it's you
Selfishly I'm in love with you
Cause I've searched my soul
and know that it's you
Selfishly I'm 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, selfish...
So what's wrong with being selfish...

Never understand my man be my man

Bring it to the ring

Miss demeanor and fantasia with the break down

[Fantasia:]

To my thick chicks down in Texas
All the way to New Orleans where the girls cook catfish
And in LA every chick's an actress
Hollywood status with the shaded glasses
To Detroit, yeah the place that I rest
Where the ladies got ass to sell alot sex
And Hot Atlanta y'all is one of the best
Where they speak southern and slang and smoke la cess
And New York women are way too fresh
Too much on your mind let me ease that stress
I wish you all were mine it's so selfish
Maybe I'm feelin myself too much I guess
But, to my ladies all across the globe
In small towns that I don't even know (know)
To all local international codes
Whether you see me in streets or catch me at shows, I'm callin...

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Uh! Ay don't be tryin to come around my girl actin like Mr. Friendly
And steal the spotlight like Mr. Bentley

And for them fake boobies I payed them Benjies
Get your own, I got Paris he got Nicky he tried to get ‘em a clone
He said yeah you know you got extra hoes
And everything you do is extra cold
From the Polo fleece to the Jesus piece
I got family in high places like Jesus' niece
Can I please, say my peace
If y'all fresh to death, then I'm deceased
And this one here, is a heat rocks
Spit like a beat box, the way the beat rocks
New version of Pete Rock!
But for that Benz I get CL love
So I switch my girls around like 3L-dub [3LW]
I'm callin..

[Verse 3: Baatin]
What up Pam how your little man doin in New Jersey
Last I heard he caught the flu and you was worried
Hope he feels better, and thanks Jonetta from Cleveland
For that good head in your Jetta better believe it
Shanice you're my piece from Compton
Before I mark the plane make sure you cop them trees to spark up
Danielle ATL got them pictures in the mail
You sealed with a kiss and you send it with Chanel
You lookin good in that one showin off your body
Had a Beverly Hills mami that would buy me Cardi's
Take me to after parties her name was Carrie
And it sucks that we didn't keep in touch I'm sorry
But, hey Kim how's Minneapolis?
You so pretty hate to show off your titties for silly classes
Cause I love you girls though you ain't mine
I wish my arms was long enough to hug you all of the same time

[Chorus: John Legend] (Slum Village)
I'm callin (Yeah maybe I'm selfish)
Out to (I want you to myself I can't help it)

Well, it's too late for givin' in
I've been waitin' for too long
There's no way that I could lose
Givin' me the love you've been holding back
Today I'm not gonna wait
Not anymore, the time is now
I'd give up everything
Just to have you for myself
Cuz when I think about it

Your love, your kiss
I never felt anything like this
You're sent from above
I'm so in love
When I think about it
Your touch, your smile
I never felt anything like this
And I know it's real
It's just the way that I feel
I'm just a little bit

I'm selfish
I don't wanna share you with anybody else
Don't want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish

I'm selfish
I don't want to share you with anybody else
I don't want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish

Should I stop trippin' and let it flow?
It happened a long time ago
Damn, boy you hurt me so
When you cheated on me with that other lady
Well, I felt embarassed and ashamed
And to top it, you called out her name
Keep thinking I'm the one to blame
Still, I took you back
When I think about it

Your love, your kiss
I never felt anything like this
You're sent from above
I'm so in love
When I think about it
Your touch, your smile
I never felt anything like this
And I know it's real
It's just the way that I feel
I'm just a little bit

I'm selfish
I don't wanna share you with anybody else
Don't want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish

I'm selfish
I don't want to share you with anybody else
I don't want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish

There are reasons why I care
The way you love me seems so unreal
There are times when I feel scared
Cuz you had a girl when we first met
I close my eyes and pray
That you would be more truthful baby
Be the love of my lifetime
Say that you'll be mine

I'm selfish
I don't wanna share you with anybody else
Don't want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish

I'm selfish
I don't want to share you with anybody else
I don't want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish

Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish

Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish

I don't want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish

I'm gonna take you with me
To Vanilla-Skies
Embrace me
I'm gonna take you oh so high

I wanna use you up
I want to explore
So when I'm done with you
I know you gonna beg for more

Whatever I want
Whatever I need
I'm gonna take ya, take ya, take ya
Whatever I want
Whatever I need
I'm gonna take ya, take ya, take ya

'Cause I'm selfish
I got an ego as high as a mountain
I'm selfish
I got an ego as big a a mountain

When I tell you to stand over there
better be prepared
'cause i won't tell you twice
No i won't tell you twice

'Cause i'm a Queen,
I'm a frown
And i get anything i want

So when I tell to stand over there
be prepared

Whatever I want
Whatever I need
I'm gonna take ya, take ya, take ya
Whatever I prayed
Insatiable taste
I'm gonna take ya, take ya, take ya

'Cause I'm selfish
I got an ego as high as a mountain
I'm selfish
I got an ego as big a a mountain

I slowly wear you down
And weaking all your sences
And there is no diguise
It's clear
You're loosing your religion
To mee

Heee
To me
Heee

Im Selfish

'Cause I'm selfish
I got an ego as high as a mountain
I'm selfish
I got an ego as big a a mountain

Ashes to ashes
That's how it ends
You go from heartache to heartache
As you make amends
Just bigger and bigger
You take two steps back
You want something from nothing
And you're so exact

You think you're a rich man
Now you misbehave
You're not a free man running
Just a comfortable slave

[Chorus:]
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of room

Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
You go higher and higher
But you've been mislead
Harder and harder
You grind the stone
Faster faster faster
Till you're skin and bones

Too much ambition
Without relief
You know that ain't heaven
But it's what you teach

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Who's got the answer
Give me the cure
Don't rush to judgement
Until you're sure

[Repeat chorus two times]

I just don't understand
Why you running from a good man, baby
Why you wanna turn your back on love,
And 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 can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopless, baby
'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....
So what's wrong with being selfish??
Yeah Yeah Yeah

I'll be taking up your time
Till the day I make you realize (realize)
That for you their could be no one else
I just gotta have you for myself,
Baby I would take good care of you.
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, hey yeah ,
Then punish me, I would die for you
'Cause I don't want to live without you,
What can I do?

You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless, baby

Impossible vain
You told me I was totally without shame
I thought to myself
This kind of luck is my middle name
Boy you need to know
Sometimes I think I'm out of my head
The bigger the words
The stranger I feel
So give me a chance to explain
And erase all bad things
I've said

You tell me I'm selfish,delirious
That's not what I am
I tell you I'm speechless,Do do do do
You know who I am
I've got a little sparkle,Do do do do
Inside of me
And you tell me I'm selfish,delirious

In between days
I wanna paint a rainbow
To cover all the gray
In between days
I wanna kiss and tell to end
This game we play
I wish you could read my mind

You tell me I'm selfish,delirious
That's not what I am
I tell you I'm speechless,Do do do do
You know who I am
I've got a little sparkle,Do do do do
Inside of me
And you tell me I'm selfish,delirious

Tell me do you cry
I cry all the time
Tears that are turning to ice
I cry
Sparkle come alive
Sparkle that melt i

I wish you could read my mind

You tell me I'm selfish,delirious
That's not what I am
I tell you I'm speechless,Do do do do
You know who I am

[Intro Missy Elliott:]

Before you get to know me
I dont wanna share your love
Make me your one and only
Ooh

[chorus]
Come on
I dont want nobody else

You can call me selfish if you want to

[verse 2]
My heart
Cant take another heart break
Because every time i fall deep in love
Somebody go and hurt me
So this time
There will be no mistakes
If you allow me to prove myself
Boy i cant make you happy

[chorus]
I dont want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I dont need nobody else
I wanna say you love
I wanna be the only one you run to

[Missy Elliott:]
Im stingy with my man
Im stingy with the goodies
If you think my style fly then check the way i boogie
This one tough cookie
With shell toes and hoodies
Will approve any chic that walks up to my man
Never understand my man be my man
I shut the game down
This dude is mine now
Bring it to the ring
K yo won one round
Miss demeanor and fantasia with the break down

[Fantasia:]
I want to be the only one
The only one that you run to
I sure dont need nobody else
Your the one your the one your the one your the one
I wanna be
I want to be the only one
The only one that you run to
I sure dont need nobody else
Your the one your the one your the one your the one

[chorus]
Come on
I dont want nobody else
I want you to myself
You can call me selfish if you want to
I dont need nobody else
I wanna say you love
I wanna be the only one you run to
