(Wilfred McGinley/Carl Smith)



Selfish one, why keep your love to yourself

It's like a souvenir that just sits on a shelf

It seems like you built a fence around your heart

Afraid that sharing might tear it apart

You pass up every chance at the start of romance



Selfish one, why keep your love in store

You think it's still that keeps forever more

You feel as I do when I ache

My heart could break down in a lonely stage

You better let your heart find a mate before it's too late



You let so much time pass by

I find myself still giving you the eye

You must have realised much to my surprise

You're making eyes at me

Is it really you



Now selfish one, you're walking me to my door

Selfish one, you never did this before

Without a chance to resist, your lips get mine

You're beginning to let your love light shine

I can see that you're really on the ball



You're not selfish at all

No, not at all

The way you hold me, the way you squize me

No you're not selfish

No, no, no

You're not selfish at all, not at all



The way you hold me, the way you squize me

You're not selfish at all

No not at all

The way you hold me

You're not selfish at all
