[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Cheers, thanks for everything

You hung me up by my heart

You're just so selfish, Jean

Yes you are

[Verse 2]

Hey, you threw it all away

By holding everything in

Hey Jean, don't rock the boat

When you can't swim

[Chorus]

Well, a perfect understanding of the finer things in life

A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife

Ah, ah, selfish Jean

[Verse 3]

Here's to you, who had everything

Left it out on the shelf

And there's no one else to blame

Except yourself

[Chorus]

Well, a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm

You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm

Ah, ah, selfish Jean

[Bridge]

But I'm standing on my own

And this house is not a home

It's so sad to see you go

Things are high, things are low

And it's good to know you know

If you got nowhere to go

You could spend the night with me

There will be no guarantee that I'll be here

In the morning

Or any time that you call

I hear you snoring, Jean

Through the wall

[Verse 4]

So hey, here's to everything

To peace and love in our time

Ah, Jean, the slate is clean

I guess we're fine

[Chorus]

Well I don't expect a miracle, I'm not asking you to change

If you can't see me happy, well, just look the other way

Ah, ah, selfish Jean

[Outro]

Ah, ah, selfish Jean

Jean
