Letra Selfish - Toni Braxton
Well, it´s too late for givin´ in
I´ve been waitin´ for too long
There´s no way that I could lose
Givin´ me the love you´ve been holding back
Today I´m not gonna wait
Not anymore, the time is now
I´d give up everything
Just to have you for myself
Cuz when I think about it
Your love, your kiss
I never felt anything like this
You´re sent from above
I´m so in love
When I think about it
Your touch, your smile
I never felt anything like this
And I know it´s real
It´s just the way that I feel
I´m just a little bit
I´m selfish
I don´t wanna share you with anybody else
Don´t want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
I´m selfish
I don´t want to share you with anybody else
I don´t want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish
Should I stop trippin´ and let it flow?
It happened a long time ago
Damn, boy you hurt me so
When you cheated on me with that other lady
Well, I felt embarassed and ashamed
And to top it, you called out her name
Keep thinking I´m the one to blame
Still, I took you back
When I think about it
Your love, your kiss
I never felt anything like this
You´re sent from above
I´m so in love
When I think about it
Your touch, your smile
I never felt anything like this
And I know it´s real
It´s just the way that I feel
I´m just a little bit
I´m selfish
I don´t wanna share you with anybody else
Don´t want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
I´m selfish
I don´t want to share you with anybody else
I don´t want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish
There are reasons why I care
The way you love me seems so unreal
There are times when I feel scared
Cuz you had a girl when we first met
I close my eyes and pray
That you would be more truthful baby
Be the love of my lifetime
Say that you´ll be mine
I´m selfish
I don´t wanna share you with anybody else
Don´t want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
I´m selfish
I don´t want to share you with anybody else
I don´t want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish
I´m selfish
I don´t wanna share you with anybody else
Don´t want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
I´m selfish
I don´t want to share you with anybody else
I don´t want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish
I´m selfish
I don´t wanna share you with anybody else
Don´t want them hugging you
Touching you, feeling you, kissing you
You could call me selfish
I´m selfish
I don´t want to share you with anybody else
I don´t want no one around you
Calling you, paging you
You can call me selfish
