Selfish Lyrics:

[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothin’ they could say to make me hate you (Hate you)
And there's no one God could make that can replace you ('Place you)
I’ma tell you while you still here before he takes you (Takes you)
You changed my life forever, so thank you (Thank you)
Once in a lifetime you might meet a angel (A angel)
And I met you shawty, I'm forever grateful (Grateful)
We live in a crazy world, don't let it change you (Change you, change you)
Yeah, we live in a shaky world, don't let it shake you (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I want you to myself (Yeah), I'm so selfish (Yeah)
I think I'm Mr. Right (Yeah), I can't help it (Can't help it)
I think my purpose is to make you feel protected
No matter how we turn out in the end, I’m thrilled we connected
I want you to myself, I’m so selfish (I)
I think I'm Mr. Right, I can’t help it (Can't help it)
I think my purpose is to make you feel protected
No matter how we turn out in the end (Yeah), I'm thrilled we connected

[Verse]
I promise the same thing that I promised in grade 9
I promise to do just what Bruno meant with the train line
In the grenade line: For your life, I'd lay mine
And God forbid it comes to that
I hope he carves you another path
And you end up with a great guy, that loves you both to death
And teach my son to hold respect close to the chest and always aim high
Until then, I’ma be your heart and arms at the same time
Look the loneliness you once knew in the face and wave bye (Come on)
Let 'em talk about you (Come on)
What else can they do? (Come on)
Not a fuckin' thing (Not a thing)
You don't make the rules (Uh, uh)
Winners gonna win (Yeah)
Losers gonna lose (That's right)
I would tell 'em fix they face but they don't have the tools (They broke)
They mad you got a smaller waist but you make bigger moves (That's right)
They gotta do what they gotta do, you can pick and choose (That's facts)
They think you here 'cause they approved? They got this shit confused
I thought I told you this in school
I'm the one got your missin' shoe (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothin' they could say to make me hate you (Hate you)
And there's no one God could make that can replace you ('Place you)
I'ma tell you while you still here before he takes you (Takes you)
You changed my life forever, so thank you (Thank you)
Once in a lifetime you might meet a angel (A angel)
And I met you shawty, I'm forever grateful (Grateful)
We live in a crazy world, don't let it change you (Change you, change you)
Yeah, we live in a shaky world, don't let it shake you (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I want you to myself (Yeah), I'm so selfish (Yeah)
I think I'm Mr. Right (Yeah), I can't help it (Can't help it)
I think my purpose is to make you feel protected
No matter how we turn out in the end, I'm thrilled we connected
I want you to myself, I'm so selfish (I)
I think I'm Mr. Right, I can't help it (Can't help it)
I think my purpose is to make you feel protected
No matter how we turn out in the end, I'm thrilled we connected
I want you to myself, I'm so selfish (I)
I think I'm Mr. Right, I can't help it (Can't help it)
I think my purpose is to make you feel protected
No matter how we turn out in the end, I'm thrilled we connected
