Selfish
Damien Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby you're one in a million, on you I thrive
'Cause you give me purpose and meaning to my life
I don't wanna be without you for a single day
Wanna wrap you in my arms and go hide away

I just want it all and all to myself
Don't wanna share my precious one with nobody else
I wish that I could make us both disappear
So the rest of the world didn't know that you're here
'Cause I wanna keep you forever just like a secret of mine
And I think if we were together we'd have the time of our life
I don't wanna share with nobody, you're the greatest taboo
'Cause baby I'm selfish, selfish when it comes to you
When it comes to you

You are there to back me up when I'm feelin' weak
You're the one that cares for me and makes my life complete
I can see it through the darkness how you shine your light
You're the weakness of mine that I'm trying to hide

I just want it all and all to myself
Don't wanna share my precious one with nobody else
I wish that I could make us both disappear
So the rest of the world didn't know that you're here
'Cause I want to keep you forever just like a secret of mine
And I think if we were together we'd have the time of our life
I don't wanna share with nobody, you're the greatest taboo
'Cause baby I'm selfish, selfish when it comes to you
When it comes to you

I know that I'm clingy and I'm forever to stay
I know that I'm stingy, don't want to give you away
And I don't care what they say 'cause it's ok, ok for me
I just want it all and all to myself
Don't wanna share my precious one with nobody else
I wish that I could make us both disappear
So the rest of the world didn't know that you're here

'Cause I want to keep you forever just like a secret of mine
And I think if we were together we'd have the time of our life
I don't wanna share with nobody, you're the greatest taboo
'Cause baby I'm selfish, selfish when it comes to you




When it comes to you
When it comes to you
