Selfish Girl
Rihanna · Rihanna's - 3 Cd Collector's Set [2009]
I saw you smile and suddendly
I can't get you out my mind
I got it bad boy I can't lie
I want your time and your full attention
I wanna talk to you and not to mention
Good love that you give to me
I think about it constantly
And no!, I won't apologize for feeling like I do
'Cuz it's a simple fact of life
I'm crazy over you
[Chorus:]
I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Cause every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you giving me
Boy it's killing me
And when it comes to love I'm not tryin' to share
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
Need you in my world, cause I'm a selfish girl
I understand that you got your crew
But I got something in mind for you
Baby lose our track in time
Guarantee to blow your mind
I don't care what anybody got to say
Maybe they never had it quite this way
Let them talk and criticize
They don't need to recognize
And it might seem a bit extreme
To need you night and day
But what I feel can't be concealed
There ain't no other way
[Chorus:]
I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Cause every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you giving me
boy it's killing me
And when it comes to love I'm not tryin' to share
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
Need you in my world, cause I'm a selfish girl
Boy you got me trippin'
I didn't know what I was missing
This is crazy, so amazing
It don't mean to be demanding
But I hope you're understanding
I'm not playing boy
I'm just saying boy
It might seem a bit extreme
To need you night and day
But what I feel can't be concealed
there ain't no other way
[Chorus:]
I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Cause every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you giving me
boy it's killing me
And when it comes to love I'm not tryin' to share
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
Need you in my world, cause I'm a selfish girl
Boy you got me trippin'
I didn't know what I was missing
This is crazy, so amazing
It don't mean to be demanding
But I hope you're understanding
