Selfish
You always say that I'm selfish
Maybe girl I just can't help it
It's just so hard to show affection
Just watch my actions and my intentions
When you were mad I bought you flowers
We spent thousands of hours
Working on your dream
We were each other's power
I remember the stress you were facing
When we working on your application
But girl I always knew you would make it
So I bought the school jersey so you would embrace it
And guess what girl you made it
And I couldn't be more proud
Since we left each other
I don't know where you are now
I always think, if we went back to the start now
Where would we be?
Would I still have your heart now?
Maybe I was selfish and had to get my mind right
Is it too late to say I loved you, in hindsight?[Chorus: Scott]Girl you know I've been working 9 to 5Trying to keep us together
Baby, you know I'm trying
But you think I'm selfish, I'm selfish
Yeah you think I'm selfish
But I do what I do for you
For you, for you
I do what I do for you
For you, for you
I do what I do for you[Verse 2: Chanda Mbao]Selfish
I swear I hate that word
It's the same word that almost made me lose my girl
All our fights, I can't get them off my brain
Cause I've been trying so hard just to change
And It's all for you, cause I want you in my life
I'm trying to be your man, girl, would you be my wife?
I know you say I'm selfish, I swear I'll make it right
Cause you are all I need, in the darkness you're my light
All I want it you girl
I never lie, everything I say is true girl
You could try, find someone else but who girl?
Will be devoted to you, treat you how I do girl?
Believe in you, challenge you and make you smile
I'm working late, saving money for our first child
In case you had any doubt, you're the only one
Baby girl, I want you to be mom to my son[Chorus: Scott]Girl you know I've been working 9 to 5Trying to keep us together
Baby, you know I'm trying
But you think I'm selfish, I'm selfish
Yeah you think I'm selfish
But I do what I do for you
For you, for you
I do what I do for you
For you, for you
I do what I do for you[Verse 3: Scott]Sometimes I'm working late
Got too much on my plate
Every single day I'm brushing shoulders with my fate
Dodging every bullet trying to make up for mistakes
My heart is never cold no question or debate
You're lonesome
I'm on one
I've been there before but you're all mine
We can have a future
But lose our past
Trying to have a new life why you holding back
I know that I can lose us girl
Who you trust?
And if you never knew it girl
I got your back
I know that I can lose us girl
Who you trust?
And if you never knew it girl
I got your back[Chorus: Scott]Girl you know I've been working 9 to 5Trying to keep us together
Baby, you know I'm trying
But you think I'm selfish, I'm selfish
Yeah you think I'm selfish
But I do what I do for you
For you, for you
I do what I do for you
For you, for you
I do what I do for you
