Selfish Lyrics

Tell me your out, out with your friends
I'm waiting up
Don't really like that feeling
Nobody like's that feeling
I called your phone, you turned it off
So I called your friends
Don't wanna be a burden
Don't wanna be that person that constantly calls

All night, lying in my bed daydreaming
Thinking 'bout your body next to mine
All night, counting down every minute
I'm trying to play it cool but I won't lie

I really want your lovin' tonight
You not here is killing my pride
Just come over tell me you only want me by your side
I really need your lovin' tonight
Nobody else can make it alright
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself

Don't waste my time
I do not like
Throwing the dice
I'm guessing what you're saying
All of the games you're playing
'Cause when we're alone you can let go
You whisper to me
About the way you're feeling
You've never felt this feeling for someone before

All night, lying in my bed daydreaming
Thinking 'bout your body next to mine
All night, counting down every minute
I'm trying to play it cool but I won't lie

I really want your lovin' tonight
You not here is killing my pride
Just come over tell me you only want me by your side
I really need your lovin' tonight
Nobody else can make it alright
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself

I want, I want yeah
You to myself yeah
I want, I want yeah
I want you to my
I want, I want yeah
You to myself yeah
I want, I want yeah
I want to give you lovin' tonight

You not here is killing my pride
Just come over tell me you only want me by your side
I really need your lovin' tonight
Nobody else can make it alright
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
(Want you to my) just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself

What is the Meaning of Selfish?

In this emotive track, Jessica Mauboy explores the complexities of desire and exclusivity in a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a profound sense of urgency and longing for the partner's presence and affection, highlighting the singer's vulnerability. Mauboy articulates a deep-seated need to be the sole focus of her lover's attention, which she equates with receiving genuine love and validation. This yearning is expressed through repeated requests for reassurance that she is uniquely cherished. The use of the term "selfish" suggests an introspective acknowledgment of her intense, possessive feelings, yet it also underscores a universal human experience—the fear of unreciprocated love and the consequential emotional turmoil 🌒.
