Selfish
He thinks I'm self-assured
And says he's never met a girl like me before
Who keeps him guessing, leaves him wanting more
I've learned that men love best when they feel they're ignored
The distance of our lips
And the impact of our kiss
Could kill me (Kill me, kill me)
And I'm weighing up the risk
Of your hands wrapped 'round my hips
I know it's tempting (La-la-la)
I know I'm selfish
Leading him on like this
Getting him jealous
Just for the thrill of it
And to be honest
I prefer myself like this
Think with my head
Cards to my chest
You've got to leave before you get left
Maybe I'm arrogant
To think I can manipulate your ignorance
I'm lying to you as I lie with him
I know the blow is low, but I crave control
And he is so happy to stay
Whenever you go away
And the distance of our lips (Of our lips)
And the impact of our kiss
Could kill me (Kill me, kill me)
So I'll use you just for kicks
Bend your body for my tricks
I know I'm greedy (La-la-la)
I know I'm selfish
Leading him on like this
Getting him jealous
Just for the thrill of it
And to be honest
I prefer myself like this
Think with my head
Cards to my chest
You've got to leave before you get left
Self-preservation
Is my testimony
Sing it for all the girls who loved and hurt
And burned before me
Self-preservation
Is what my heartbreak taught me
I know I'm wrong, but I refuse to say, "I'm sorry"
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm scared
I needed love, but you weren't there
So I'll take it out on every guy
And I guess this is why
Why I'm so selfish
Leading him on like this
Getting him jealous
Just for the thrill of it (Just for the thrill of it)
And to be honest
I prefer myself like this
Think with my head
Cards to my chest (Cards to my chest)
You've got to leave before you get left
And says he's never met a girl like me before
Who keeps him guessing, leaves him wanting more
I've learned that men love best when they feel they're ignored
The distance of our lips
And the impact of our kiss
Could kill me (Kill me, kill me)
And I'm weighing up the risk
Of your hands wrapped 'round my hips
I know it's tempting (La-la-la)
I know I'm selfish
Leading him on like this
Getting him jealous
Just for the thrill of it
And to be honest
I prefer myself like this
Think with my head
Cards to my chest
You've got to leave before you get left
Maybe I'm arrogant
To think I can manipulate your ignorance
I'm lying to you as I lie with him
I know the blow is low, but I crave control
And he is so happy to stay
Whenever you go away
And the distance of our lips (Of our lips)
And the impact of our kiss
Could kill me (Kill me, kill me)
So I'll use you just for kicks
Bend your body for my tricks
I know I'm greedy (La-la-la)
I know I'm selfish
Leading him on like this
Getting him jealous
Just for the thrill of it
And to be honest
I prefer myself like this
Think with my head
Cards to my chest
You've got to leave before you get left
Self-preservation

Cards to my chest (Cards to my chest)
You've got to leave before you get left
