JACKIE ROSS - SELFISH ONE 1964

[Verse 1]
Selfish one, why keep your love to yourself? Oh-oh, yeah
It's like a souvenir that just sits on a shelf, oh-oh, oh, oh
It seems like you built a fence around your heart
And ya afraid that sharing might tear it apart
And ya pass up every chance at the start of romance, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Selfish one, why keep your love in store? oh-oh, yeah
You think it's steel that will keep forever more oh-oh, oh, oh
But steel wears out through weather and age
And a heart could break down in a lonely stage
You better let your heart find a mate, before it's too late
[Bridge]
You let so much time pass by
And I find myself still giving you the eye
Then you must have realized
'Cause much to my surprise
You're making eyes at me
Is it really you?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Now, selfish one, you're walking me to my door, oh-oh, yeah
Selfish one, you never did this before, oh-oh, no
Without a chance to resist, your lips met mine
You beginning to let your lovelight shine
And I can see that you're really on the ball, and you're not selfish at all
[Outro]
No, no, not at all
No, the way you hold me
Oh yeah, the way you squeeze me
No, you're not selfish
No, no, no
You're not selfish at all
Oh, not at all
Oh, the way ya kiss me
Don't ya know that I love the way ya hold me, yeah
No, not at all
No, not at all
No, not at all
