Selfish Love

selfish love
love was all I ever wanted back 
I never needed nothing else 
treat me good 
show me care 
am a woman remember
tell me those truthful lies
that brighten my mood 
to a lovely smile 
that gaves me good energy
all day long
you use to do it 
what happened now 
cos this love of yours 
is gone too soon
especially now I want more 
of you 
is so sad is so bad cos 
love was all I ever wanted back

oh man
you said you will love me forever
you said you will be by my side forever
you were the air I breath
the bone to my weak flesh
too bad so sad
your love is selfish
cos love was all I ever 
wanted back

selfish love
love was all I ever wanted back
I thought love was enough
to show my sincerity
I thought believing in you 
will always keep my hopes high
I wish I was the one to keep 
your love alive again
cos your love is selfish 
you dont care 
you dont feel any more
remember am a woman cos
you are so determine but
not for my good  
despite your sweet words 
your action speak who truly
you are 
so sad so bad cos 
love was all I ever wanted back

oh man
you said you will love me forever
you said you will be by my side forever
you were the air I breath 
the bone to my weak flesh
too bad so sad
your love is selfish
cos love was all I ever 
wanted back

selfish love
love was all I ever wanted back
I use to be that very girl 
that trips you 
your sweet sixteen
that very girl that
keeps you aweak at midnight
this words use to be your teases
my picture was always on your 
screen saver
my absence makes you sad 
cos you always miss my presence
so man what went wrong
what I have done wrong 
why your love is too stingy 
if you dont love me by now 
man you can never ever love me 
and that is so sad so bad cos
love was all I ever wanted back

oh man
you said you will love me forever
you said you will be by my side forever
you were the air I breath 
the bone to my weak flesh
too bad so sad
your love is selfish
cos love was all I ever 
wanted back

selfish love
love was all I ever wanted back
i gave my heart to you 
I trusted you 
I listen to your worry 
try to keep your hopes alive 
I protect your image 
cos your were the man I love 
your problems was my worries
instead of mine 
cos I can't stand you sad 
despite all I now bleeds 
always in tears 
just for you man 
the man I love 
I know love is not a crime 
cos your love oh man 
is so so sow 
so bad so sad 
love was all I ever wanted back

oh man
you said you will love me forever
you said you will be by my side forever
you were the air I breath 
the bone to my weak flesh
too bad so bad 
your love is selfish
cos love was all I ever 
wanted back
