Selfish Girl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Romance never seems to be roses

Never happy endings, unless someone pretendin'

But sometimes it feels good to be lonely

Call it independence, done with this pretendin'

I cut you off, don't call my line

It's not 'cause I'm on guard, but I

Been hurt one too many times

And that's the reason why

I'm a selfish girl

I've gotta put myself first

'Cause I'm a selfish girl

I only want the whole world, oh, oh, yeah

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

One hand in the air at the party

Stuck in sound and vision, something like religion, oh

Don't try to light something I've started

Yeah, you might be different, but I told you that we're finished, oh

I cut you off, don't call my line

It's not 'cause I'm on guard, but I

Been hurt one too many times

And that's the reason why

I'm a selfish girl

I've gotta put myself first

'Cause I'm a selfish girl

I only want the whole world, oh, oh, yeah

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

Hands up if you're selfish

Put your hands up if you're selfish, selfish

Put your hands up if you're selfish

Put your hands up if you're selfish, selfish

Put your hands up if you're selfish

Put your hands up if you're selfish, selfish

Put your hands up if you're selfish

Put your hands up if you're selfish, selfish

I'm a selfish girl

I've gotta put myself first

'Cause I'm a selfish girl

I only want the whole world
