Selfish
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't mind you hanging with your friends
It's just I like it more when the party ends
So we can turn the lights down, you and me now
With you every day is like a weekend
I know they wanna steal your heart away
So I just wanna keep you here with me
I'm never gonna let go, wanna stay close
Let me do it just how you want it

I want you all to myself
I want you all to myself
Your body is turning me reckless
Ooh baby, you're making me selfish
I want you all to myself
I want you all to myself
Your body is turning me reckless
Ooh baby, you're making me selfish

You make me, you make me
You make me selfish
You make me, you make me
You make me selfish

I don't mind you making other plans
It's just I like it more when they don't happen
So we can order takeout, chill on my couch
Got me looking good in my sweatpants
Did you know that posh up town events
Are full of fake actors? No offence
I just wanna wake up with my make-up
Smeared on your sheets, makin' no sense

I want you all to myself
I want you all to myself
Your body is turning me reckless
Ooh baby, you're making me selfish
I want you all to myself
I want you all to myself
Your body is turning me reckless
Ooh baby, you're making me selfish

You make me, you make me
You make me selfish
You make me, you make me
I want you all to myself

I don't mind you hanging with your friends
It's just I like it more when the party ends
It's just I like it more when the party ends
I want you all to myself

I want you all to myself
I want you all to myself (Ooh)
Your body is turning me reckless
Ooh baby, you're making me selfish
(Oh, I) I want you all to myself
I want you all to myself




Your body is turning me reckless
Ooh baby, you're making me selfish

Overall Meaning

The singer expresses his wish to have his partner all to himself and dislikes the idea of them being with others. He enjoys intimate moments with his lover after the party ends and wants to spend his time with them, watching Netflix, ordering takeout, and hanging out in comfortable clothing. The singer also expresses his disinterest in fake high-end events and prefers to have simple, genuine moments with his partner. The lyrics convey a primal desire for deep and exclusive intimacy with a lover, which can lead to a conflict between possessiveness and trust.


The lyrics are quite straightforward and present the singerโ€™s romantic feelings towards his partner. The song highlights the importance of trust and exclusivity within a relationship. His desire to keep his partner close and spend time only with him/herself might sometimes come off as selfish, but the song suggests that it is nothing wrong in asking for it.
