The lyrics to Julian Skiboat's song "Selfish" is all about the singer's selfish nature when it comes to love. The singer admits to being selfish and how it is a habit that they can't help. The singer is so caught up in their love for the person, and they want the person all to themselves. They describe this person as the best, and nobody else can do what they can do.

They make it clear that they will never let go of the person even if the person claims to love them. The singer is selfish, and they do not want to give up what they have. They are addicted to what they have with this person and will not quit.
