Love Is Selfish Lyrics by Jack White
One, two, three, four
Love is such a selfish thing
It’s always crying me-me-me
And it’s always trying to mess up all my plans
And I work real hard to make you understand
Yeah, I try my best to help you understand
I’ve been trying over the years
To try and overcome these fears
But nothing I come up with proves I can
And I work real hard to make you understand
Yeah, I try my best to help you understand
I’m on a train but I can not rest upon it
I’m on a train but it won’t stay on the rails
And I’ve got a sailboat with her name painted on it
But I don’t know how to sail
Someone smarter than me and you might
End up solving a clue or two
But could they make it happen with their hands?
Could they build it up from nothing with their hands?
I could lose my mind just trying to understand
Love is such a selfish thing
It’s always crying me, me, me
And it’s always trying to mess up all my plans
And I work real hard to make you understand
And I’ll try my best to help you understand
