TOO SELFISH

Yes, I guess I was too selfish

To fall in love so hard and deep.

Treasuring your touch and caring.

Thinking love was mine to keep.

Selfish me. I needed your loving.

Wishing you would feel the same.

Not just then, but now and ever.

That our love we could reclaim.

Yes, I guess I was too selfish

Hoping you would understand.

That my love for you was stronger

than I had for any man.

Selfish me. I needed your loving.

Wishing you would feel the same.

Not just then, but now and ever.

That our love we could reclaim.

Yes, I guess I was too selfish

To hope the day, we made a pact.

Promises would last forever.

Hoping it would be a fact.

Selfish me. I needed your loving.

Wishing you would feel the same.

Not just then, but now and ever.

That our love we could reclaim.
