[Verse 1]

Someday they'll write a book about you

Because you're so selfish it's funny

So self-absorbed, this thunderous horde

Of you, you, you

So self-absorbed, this thunderous horde

Of you, you, you

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'd love you

But you love yourself

And you'd love me

But I love myself

[Verse 2]

So tense are these nerves in any instance

Teeth snap and a toe taps the dirt

Cry like a baby and see if then maybe

The others will cherish your hurt

Never you see a cry or a plea

Consider another or first

Know this is your world, the harsh words you have hurled

Recall you are the one in need worse

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'd love you

But you love yourself

And you'd love me

But I love myself

Yeah, I'd love you

But you love yourself

And we'd serve you

But we serve ourselves

[Bridge]

Ignoring you, I dance, oh I do

Through magnificent realms, quite divine

Stopping to see my face smiling at me

For this is my life and my time

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'd love you

But you love yourself

And you'd love me

But I love myself

Yeah, I'd love you

But you love yourself

And we'd serve you

But we serve ourselves

[Outro]

What an arduous task, it proves such a feat

To be only one of a kind

Though the scenery slips through the spaces we meet

Press forward and leave me behind

What an arduous task, it proves such a feat

To be only one of a kind

Though the scenery slips through the spaces we meet

Press forward and leave me behind

What a child you are, for you look just like me

Looking out for number one

And I'm all that I have, and all that I see

Saved by the grace of the Son

So shall we deny? And rot as we die?

As I write a book about me

My noble wealth of serving myself

I am so selfish it's funny
