In Love With Yourself
Liz Phair Lyrics

He came over to my house
He arrived at my home unannounced

Didn't even knock, he just walked inside
He didn't bother to knock, just entered without permission

And when I didn't want to talk
And when I didn't feel like conversing

He said, 'Oh God, what a lot of bullshit.'
He expressed annoyance and frustration

Don't be so in love with yourself
Don't be overly self-centered

Don't you know I'm not?
I'm not in love with myself

And he said, 'You've got a lot of nerve
He accused me of being audacious

Coming here after all of the times
Arriving here after many previous instances

That you've tried to pull the wool
Hiding something or deceiving me

Over my eyes and my ears and nose and mouth and'
Deceiving me through sight, sound, and smell

And he said, 'You've got a lot of nerve
He accused me of being audacious

Painting me like I'm the villain.
Portraying him as the bad guy

What about all of those words, like 'he's just a friend'?
What about those things you said about me being just a friend?

And I said, 'You've got a lot of nerve,
I accused him of being audacious as well

After all, it wasn't me who left.
It was not me who ended the relationship

And now you're sleeping with that girl
And now you're intimate with that other woman

That you used to say that you have always hated.
Whom you claimed to detest in the past.

And we took off all of our clothes
We undressed ourselves completely

Had a lot of sex and then fell asleep
We engaged in sexual activity before falling asleep

And when I finally awoke
And when I finally opened my eyes

I held him close and I whispered in his ear and said,
I embraced him and spoke softly into his ear

And he said, 'I know, don't you think I know?'
And he acknowledged his actions and their impacts
