Selfish One
(wilfred mcginley/carl smith)
Selfish one, why keep your love to yourself
Its like a souvenir that just sits on a shelf
It seems like you built a fence around your heart
Afraid that sharing might tear it apart
You pass up every chance at the start of romance
Selfish one, why keep your love in store
You think its still that keeps forever more
You feel as I do when I ache
My heart could break down in a lonely stage
You better let your heart find a mate before its too late
You let so much time pass by
I find myself still giving you the eye
You must have realised much to my surprise
Youre making eyes at me
Is it really you
Now selfish one, youre walking me to my door
Selfish one, you never did this before
Without a chance to resist, your lips get mine
Youre beginning to let your love light shine
I can see that youre really on the ball
Youre not selfish at all
No, not at all
The way you hold me, the way you squize me
No youre not selfish
No, no, no
Youre not selfish at all, not at all
The way you hold me, the way you squize me
Youre not selfish at all
No not at all
The way you hold me
Youre not selfish at all

Selfish
Ashes to ashes
Thats how it ends
(you go from) heartache to heartache
As you make amends
(just) bigger and bigger
But two steps back
You want something from nothing
And youre so exact
You think youre a rich man
Now you misbehave
Youre not a free man running
Just a comfortable slave
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still dont see
Youre so selfish
And youre running out of room
Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
Higher and higher
But youve been mislead
Harder and harder
You grind the stone
Faster faster faster
Till youre skin and bones
Too much ambition
Without relief
That aint heaven
But its what you teach
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still dont see
Youre so selfish
And youre running out of room
The world was made in seven days
Your heads are bowed to gods in praise
Civilized man can only be saved
When courage and wisdom are finally raised
Whos got the answer
Give me the cure
Dont rush to judgement
Until youre sure
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still dont see
Youre so selfish
And youre running out of room

Selfish
Well, its too late for givin in
Ive been waitin for too long
Theres no way that I could lose
Givin me the love youve been holding back
Today Im not gonna wait
Not anymore, the time is now
Id 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
Youre sent from above
Im so in love
When I think about it
Your touch, your smile
I never felt anything like this
And I know its real
Its just the way that I feel
Im just a little bit
Im selfish
I dont wanna share you with anybody else
Dont want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
Im selfish
I dont want to share you with anybody else
I dont 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 Im the one to blame
Still, I took you back
When I think about it
Your love, your kiss
I never felt anything like this
Youre sent from above
Im so in love
When I think about it
Your touch, your smile
I never felt anything like this
And I know its real
Its just the way that I feel
Im just a little bit
Im selfish
I dont wanna share you with anybody else
Dont want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
Im selfish
I dont want to share you with anybody else
I dont 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 youll be mine
Im selfish
I dont wanna share you with anybody else
Dont want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
Im selfish
I dont want to share you with anybody else
I dont want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish
Im selfish
I dont wanna share you with anybody else
Dont want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
Im selfish
I dont want to share you with anybody else
I dont want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish
Im selfish
I dont wanna share you with anybody else
Dont want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
Im selfish
I dont want to share you with anybody else
I dont want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish

Selfish
I am selfish
You are selfish
He is selfish
She is selfish
We all are selfish
To a lesser or a
Greater degree...
Let's not
Stay in denial.
Let's accept
Our selfishness
So that if people
Are selfish to us,
It hurts us less.

Chasing Sirens
If you need to change your style sometimes
To please and satisfy
Theyll call you a hypocrite
Youre giving birth to all new friends
Visions theyll never comprehend
Because theyre all so selfish
Chorus:
Everyone look at me chasing sirens
Demanding their attention
So selfish
Trying to discover whats wrong with my mind
So they started to upheaval
But you prompted the war
Youre still a hypocrite
Snapping the sleepers into motion
So their systems will change
Right now youre giving up but let me show you
Chorus
You like to be the center of attention dont you
Under the spell of another phase
So pretentious
Plastic uninvited
Dont you fnd it strange
How they wear their egos on their sleeves
Until they see your face
Dont you find it strange
How they wear their egos on their sleeves
Until they see your face
Chorus
This day should last forever
Stuck on the merry go around
Keep spinning, never want to come down
So selfish

Time & Time Again
Yes I did it and Ill do it again
It doesnt matter if I am your best friend
I dont think so
Youre not that smart
Over and over it breaks my heart
The cycle continues time for your crime
The pain comes back in an ugly design
Her makeup smears
The tears that she cries
Over and over every night
Emotional swords slash my soul
And now the pain takes control
I think about you
I think about me
Think about the way that it used to be
I need a bottle
I need some pills
I need a friend
I need some thrills
A shoulder to cry on a friend to depend on
When life gets rough
Time and time again
You think about yourself before you think about me
Time and time again
You think about yourself before you think about me
Its like a fight every single day
Its always easy when you have it your way
Deep in my heart
In the depths of my soul
My selfish ways are out of control
Im sorry that it comes down to this
I punch through the wall as I break my fist
The makeup smears
Tears that we cry
Over and over every night
Youre so selfish
Youre making me want to end this relationship
Youre making me want to end this
Loving ties unwind
Lost time behind
Loving ties unwind
Lost time behind

What Is It My Love
You hurt me, you use me, you lie
Youre heartless and hateful and cold
You dont care how you make me cry
You must have the last word
And be in control
What is it about you I love
Youre selfish and stubborn and proud
Youre arrogant, boastful and vain
Youre careless and thoughtless and loud
A flirt and a tease
And you cause me such pain
What is it about you I love
What is it, what is it my love
Chorus:
Theres something about you
That I seem to need
I have a hunger you know how to feed
And you satisfy me like nobody else
Those moments of heaven
Are worth all this hell
And I know you love me in your own crazy way
And I know you need me more than you can say
I may be a fool but Ill never give up
cause theres something about you I love
What is it, what is it my love
Chorus:
And theres something about me
That you seem to need
cause you have a hunger I know how to feed
And I satisfy you like nobody else
Those moments of heaven
Are worth all this hell
And I know in my heart that you want to be good
I understand that youre misunderstood
Youre insecure and defensively tough
Theres something about you my love
What is it, what is it my love
Theres something about you
That I seem to need
What is it, what is it my love

Youre The One
Evry night, evry day
Youre the one I always dream of
Evry line of your face
Is sketched so plain inside my heart
Youve grown so deep inside of me
Youre everything I feel and see
And youre the one, youre the one I love
All my life, all my love
I can feel when youre beside me
All thats right, all thats wrong
Suddenly becomes so clear
My heart has overtaken me
With feelings you awake in me
And youre the one, youre the one I love
Only you could move me enough to believe in love one more time
All I need to know for tomorrow is that youre mine
Mine for a lifetime
If our friends all around
Find it hard to understand us
You and I understand the other one so very well
And thats what Ive been looking for
So I keep coming back for more
cause youre the one, youre the one I love
Youre the one, youre the one I love

All I Need
Some men need riches and lots of money to spend
Some men need power to hold over other men
But not me baby, girl you can believe
Im telling you my darling
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need fine clothes, big diamond rings
To feel like somebody some men need expensive things
But I feel like somebody, girl, every time you look at me
I dont need nothing to remind me that
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need a fine home on a far hillside
Some men need a big car to show off as they ride
Some men need a pretty woman just to walk by their side
And some men need to see the fear in another mans eyes
But all I need baby, is all I can see
When you wrap your loving arms around me
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need

Give Up
(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
No, no, no
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me

He Does It In the Giving
When one is given to serious thought...
That seriousness,
Should be on one's 'mental list'.
I choose to begin with God.
Followed by family,
And my love of friends.
Then myself.
With a desire to keep my wishes,
Prioriticized.
My thought process is always orderly.
Sometimes God pushes me,
To have me think of myself first.
I use to think that was selfish.
And God laughs at me!
Knowing no one could ever be more 'selfish',
Than He!
And He does it in the giving!
That's how 'selfish' He is!

Cruise Control
Where do you go
When the cold wind blows
What do you see
When youre staring down victory
Well, hey mister, this ones gonna pass you by if you let it fly
Let it go, oh
Youre not here, youre not in love...
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
You have no taste for
What is too known
You have to ignore something
Once it is shown
Well, hey mister, this ones gonna pass you by if you let it fly
Let it go, oh
Youre not here, youre not in love...
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
You cant get it back,
Its like a heart attack
Once you lose track,
You can never find the track back home
You lost a friend and you lost something great
You sold yourself
Just to save a little faith
Just like a razor with nothing left to cut through
You throw yourself on everyone around you
Oh youre invincble, you (blah blah blah blah blah)
You catch cleverness up around your heart
You were always like the rest of us
?
But youll be lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
You cant comprehend hunger
Before it begins
You cant appreciate good love until its too late
Well, hey mister, Im gonna pass you by if you let me fly
Let me go, oh
Youre not here, youre not in love,
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control
Youre on cruise control

Not My Slave
With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
I thought about the ghost that we left behind.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper I love you.
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out.
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night.
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgement day
Youre missing the whole point-- youre not my little pet
Dont throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--dont want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
Youre mine now but youre not my sister
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my child
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
With sadness in my heart and clounds in my head
I thought about us both and the lives we led.
The pages on a book and pictures on a screen
We shape ourselves like clay from someone elses dream.
One second you are cast just like stones at my feet
But I am not a king please dont worship me.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper I love you.
Youre missing the whole point-- youre not my little pet
Dont throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--dont want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
Youre mine now but youre not my sister
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my child
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my sister
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my child
Youre mine now but youre not my slave

The Bug
Well its a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and its back to go
Youre standing on the throttle
Youre standing on the brakes
In the groove til you make a mistake
Sometimes youre the windshield
Sometimes youre the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes youre a fool in love
Sometimes youre the louisville slugger
Sometimes youre the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes youre going lose it all
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because youre gonna know lonely
And youre gonna know bad
When youre rippin and a ridin and youre coming on strong
You start slippin and a slidin and it all goes wrong, because
Sometimes youre the windshield
Sometimes youre the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes youre a fool in love
Sometimes youre the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes youre the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes youre going lose it all
One day you got the glory
Then you got none
One day youre a diamond
And then youre a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye, because
Sometimes youre the windshield
Sometimes youre the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes youre a fool in love
Sometimes youre the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes youre the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes youre going lose it all

Gigolette
Written by orbison/dees.
Oh, they call you gigolette,they say that youre the devils pet.
They say beware for you destroy,the heart and soul of everyboy.
They say that your lips are soft and warm.and they say that your touch has a magic charm
But that youre a butterfly flying from guy to guy.
Yes youre known as gigolette,oh love and them and leave them gigolette,
They say youre laugh when lovers cry they say its a kiss and then goodbye.
They say that your heart is made of stone and they say stay away leave you alone.
Ah, that youre a fly by night many arms to hold you tight.
But its too late for me.too late now to forget,Im under the spell of gigolette.
*my chance to run away is past, Im in your arms at last.
So come on and hold me.oh hold me close to you.
Oh kiss me,dont break my heart in two.
Tomorrow youre may be ot of sight, but tonight,tonight,tonight love me gigolette.

Take A Chance
Words and music by bob seger
You take a chance on an airplane
You take a chance when you cross the street
You take a chance when you love somebody
When youre standing near the heat
You take a chance when youre honest
You take a chance when you tell lies
You take a chance when you trust somebody
When you look em in the eyes
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me
You take a chance when youre indecisive
You take a chance when youre aloof
You take a chance when you judge somebody
When youve really got no proof
You take a chance when you refuse to hear
You take a chance when youre unkind
You take a chance when you refuse to grow up baby
You end up left behind
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me
You take a chance when youre ruthless
You take a chance when youre cruel
You take a chance when you make a vow babe
To be nobodys fool
You take a chance when youre distant
You take a chance when you live inside
You take a chance when someone loves you
And you leave them with no pride
Take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me
Oh take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Im exactly what you see honey
Take a chance on me

So Mystifying
You know youre so mystifying

Well, help me, baby, get a message through
You leave my mouth wide open with the things that you do
First you say you love me, then you say that were through
You know youre so mystifying, cant believe its true
You know youre so mystifying

You know that every time I see you walking down the street
You got a mystifying wiggle from your head to your feet
You got a shock wave pulsating rhythm through my brain
You know youre so mystifying, you just aint the same
